Barolo DOCG Cerequio Roberto Voerzio 2017

The wine

Roberto Voerzio produces a top-flight Barolo. The low yields which he strives to produce mean that once the grapes have been vinified, the resulting wine is extraordinarily concentrated and intense. It delivers a wealth of warm notes and gradually reveals a bouquet of cocoa and ripe dark and red fruit. This is a superb cuvée which is obviously a prime candidate for cellaring.

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.
