Critics reviews

James Suckling 99/100
Dark fruit with fresh porcini mushrooms and some black truffles, as well as burnt orange on the nose, following through to a full body with lovely, fresh and ripe fruit, as well as ultra-fine tannins that just flow and melt into the wine. Fluid and thoughtful. Drink after 2024 and onwards james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (January 2021)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Roberto Voerzio

Voerzio is the original ‘modernist’ Barolo estate. Based in La Morra, Roberto started in the 1980s with five hectares. He makes tiny quantities from a number of top vineyards (La Serra, Rocche dell’Annunziata, Cerequio, Fossati Case Nere, Sarmassa), 60 percent of which have been planted at high density levels. Yet in the winery he’s relatively traditional, eschewing roto-fermentors or manipulation of the fruit, ageing in a combination of small and (since 2008) increasingly large botti.
