Barolo DOCG Brunate Roberto Voerzio 2017

The wine

This wine, which is produced using integrated vineyard management methods without fertiliser, weedkillers or fungicides, is slightly austere when drunk young. It will benefit from several years of cellaring in order to reveal its full potential and rich stewed fruit, coffee, liquorice and herb notes. This wine owes its structure to firm tannins, which give it remarkable balance.

About the Producer Roberto Voerzio

Roberto Voerzio, who belongs to a winemaking family, decided to go it alone in 1986 on a 2-hectare plot on the family vineyard. His domaine has gradually acquired a fine reputation for its quality wines, which offer a perfect combination of power and elegance. He is now one of the Barolo big hitters. Accomplished wine grower and skilful vintner Roberto Voerzio specialises in high-density planting and very low yields with a view to distilling the quintessence of his terroirs. He is known notably for creating the very opposite of powerful, extracted and woody wines. Voerzio reflects the ethos of combining modernity and tradition and his bottles are iconic and authentic.
