Roberto Voerzio is one of the living legends of Barolo.
Based in La Morra, Roberto started in 1986 with just a few hectares and the goal of producing the finest Barolo in the region.
His viticulture is characterized by high density plantings and extremely low yields (750g /vine). The techniques he meticulously applies in the vineyards of pruning, green harvesting and bunch-thinning leave the fruit riper and more concentrated in flavors and sugars while maintaining a balanced acidity.
The Voerzio vineyards are located in the finest Crus of Barolo: La Serra, Brunate, Cerequio, Sarmassa, Rocche del’Annunziata and Fossati, with complimentary vineyards of Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo all in the commune of La Morra. 20 hectares in total are farmed, all organically.
In the winery, he is considered a classic ‘modernist’, with short fermentation on the skins, not exceeding one month. With the help of his son Davide in the cellar, the wines are aged in French oak barrique and botti, the Barolo for at least 2 years.
Voerzio’s perfectionist approach in the vineyards, combined with his unrelenting quality of production and engagement in sustainable practices make his wines legendary, and are widely considered to constitute the superlative expression in the category.
"The 2009 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate is one of the most vivid and thrilling wines I have tasted at Voerzio in over a decade of regular visits. Black cherries, flowers, spices, menthol and licorice all jump from the glass. Layered, delineated and striking in its beauty, the 2009 impresses for its pure sophistication and elegance. This is an unusually polished vintage for the Capalot, a wine that is often much more brooding. Readers who can latch onto a few of the magnums will not be disappointed." - 96 Points, Antonio Galloni Vinous
