Roberto Voerzio - Disanfrancesco Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

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. 

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.

Made from estate vines located in La Morra, facing southeast. Each older vine is pruned carefully, to ensure very low yields. Age of vines is 35 years, on average. Wine is fermented on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Aged 12 months in tonneaux (30% new) then an additional eight months in 25HL “botti” and tank. Unfined and unfiltered.
