Barbera d'Asti DOC Voerzio 2021

The wine

Nestling in the heart of the Asti region, the Barbera vines express their very best qualities thanks to the region’s soils and microclimates. In addition, sustainable viticultural practices allow both terroir and grape variety to reveal their character naturally. In the winery, the Barbera grapes are then vinified in a traditional, low-intervention fashion. To finish, the cuvée is carefully matured in oak barrels, which imparts remarkable aromatic complexity and tannic structure.
The deep, intense red colour promises a highly aromatic bouquet. The nose is characterised by aromas of ripe red fruit such as plum and cherry, combined with subtle hints of spice, chocolate and vanilla. On the palate, the wine reveals remarkable depth and concentration, with a perfect balance of soft tannins and fine acidity, leading to a deliciously long and flavoursome 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.
