2019 Barolo, La Serra, Roberto Voerzio, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Fabulously rounded on the nose with red and black fruits to the fore. Nice depth on the palate, filling the mouth with ripe fruit notes all kept in check by bright acidity and fine, malleable tannins. Long and fine on the finish, this is supremely elegant with lovely finesse and a great example of the results of the diligence shown in the vineyard. La Morra at its best.

Critics reviews

James Suckling 97/100
Fresh and vivid with raspberry, lime and honeysuckle on the nose. Medium-bodied with tight and polished tannins that are completely integrated. Polished and fine. Needs time to open and show itself. Try after 2028.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (July 2023)

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.
