Barolo DOCG La Serra Roberto Voerzio 2014

The wine

La Serra is a fine Barolo for laying down, which requires a degree of ageing. It delivers musk, leather, hazelnut and dark berries (blueberries, blackberries, Morello cherries) on the nose. It has a good density, suppleness and power on the palate, balanced out by a certain freshness. It has a pleasingly long finish. This Barolo can be paired with a number of red meat and game dishes.

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.
