Langhe Roberto Voerzio Da Uva Merlot 2007

The wine

This Merlot cuvée is aged for 15 months in barrels (30% new), 5 months in stainless steel vats, and 24 months in bottles. It delivers stewed blackberry and blueberry aromas on the nose, supplemented by liquorice and forest floor notes. It is powerfully structured on the palate but is also fresh with a very long finish.

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.
