Barolo DOCG Sarmassa Roberto Voerzio 2006

The wine

The Sarmassa vineyard is one of the oldest cultivated by Roberto Voerzio, with a density of just 800 vines per hectare. This Barolo Sarmassa is only available in magnum format and is ideal for long cellaring. The wine delivers powerful spicy and tobacco aromas and the long finish blends harmoniously with its tannins.

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.
