Roberto Voerzio Barolo Riserva RV350 2017

Cellar Roberto Voerzio

Roberto Voerzio, an icon of avant-garde viticulture in the Langhe. His style is unique, his love for wine and the land have led him to produce grandiose wines. The facts speak for themselves, 8000 vines per hectare, super bunch selection, aggressive thinning, 500 grams of grapes per plant ( traditionally Piedmontese winemakers harvest about 2 kilograms). His work in the vineyards is more than manic, his plants are immediately recognizable by their cleanliness and tidiness, and the philosophy of using only organic products and manure for the well-being of the vines does not go unnoticed at all.
He founded his winery in the 1980s by buying the best vineyards with the most beautiful exposures, producing limited quantities for each cru with amazing and unparalleled power and structure.
Brunate, La Serra,Cerequio, Rocche dell’Annunziata and Fossati are the namesake vineyards where he vinifies in purity the various cru, all located in La Morra and always considered the most prestigious for the quality of the grapes.

Barolo Riserva RV350 2017

This wine is a special selection of the 2017 vintage coming only from vines with a maximum guaranteed yield of 350 grams, therefore with a production as concentrated as possible. One thinks of the hyper-concentrated, but the nose is very fine. Fine licorice, with a very light floral and red cherry fragrance. The wine in the mouth is hyper-concentrated and at the same time very delicate. Tannic at best, but the tannins are totally smooth.

Rewards

Heiner Lobenberg : I don’t think I’ve ever drunk a Barolo so concentrated and at the same time so fine that I didn’t want to finish it because it was so good. Reaches the levels of the best such as Giacosa and Roagna. Awesome! 100+/100
