Barolo DOCG Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate Roberto Voerzio 1999

The wine

This cuvée is produced from the oldest vines in the Capalot and Brunate vineyards (60 years). The grapes are meticulously sorted and each vine produces on average one bottle of wine. Barrel-ageing for 24 months produces a powerful Barolo which is equally explosive on the nose and on the palate. An iconic Italian wine.

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.
