Tasting Notes: “This classy Langhe Nebbiolo is absolutely delicious, serving up fragrant aromas of cherry, wild strawberry, forest undergrowth and dusty books. Then the beautifully sweet, cocoa-dusted palate delivers ripe, elegant hedgerow fruits and fine, powdery tannins, with a long, fresh, balsamic finish of dried fruit, chocolate and wood.” -James Button, Decanter
Roberto Voerzio founded his winery in 1986 in La Morra, a village in the heart of the Langhe, a hilly area that ranges over the provinces of Cuneo and Asti in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. The area is known for its vineyards, which date back to at least the year 1350. As the crow flies, La Morra is only about 45 miles from the French border. Over the years, he has expanded his vineyards with highly suitable plots in La Morra and Barolo. He owns 15 hectares and rents 20 more.
Roberto, assisted by his son, Davide, is a maverick when it comes to viticulture. Twenty years ago, he went against tradition and started striving for low yields. He removed entire bunches of grapes from the vine, littering the space between rows with fruit. His instincts told him that lower yields would produce better wine. His meticulous nature also extends to the wine. If a vintage does not meet his standards, it will not be released.
