Description

The wine displays ruby colour with garnet reflections. The nose is complex with aromas of ripe red fruits, roses, tar, and dried tobacco leaf. On the palate, it is full-bodied, elegant, with fresh acidity, firm tannins, and a long, persistent finish. This wine will age gracefully for decades but can also be enjoyed in its youthful splendour.

Critics reviews

James Suckling 95/100
This is tight and closed now but shows plenty of orange peel, berry, strawberry and floral character. Medium to full body. Tannins are integrated and velvety textured. Try after 2027.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.
