Barbera d'Alba DOC Roberto Voerzio Riserva Pozzo dell'Annunziata 2004

La «cuvée»

This is a wine produced in very small quantities (around 1,500 magnums per year) from the old vines of the "Pozzo dell'Annunziata" parcel. It is the result of a long élevage (18 months in the barrel, 4 years in the bottle), and features the Barbera grape, "Italy's Merlot". Silky, intense and long in the mouth, it is a truly emblematic wine for this domain.

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.
