BAROLO LA MORRA '18 CL 75 VOERZIO

First edition of the new Barolo from Voerzio but which already presents itself as a great Classic. The son of an excellent vintage brought to the cellar with bunches of more generous volume (as desired by the pruning of the fruit at the beginning of its development) compared to those of the other crus of the company. Elegant, with compact and material fruit, of pleasantly readable complexity. When Roberto Voerzio founded his winery in La Morra in 1986, the winemakers of Barolo were engaged in what was often portrayed as a conflict between traditionalists and progressives, supporters of the old school and the new. But Roberto, raised in a family of winemakers, was too busy with his vines and his wines to take sides, instead following his sense of individuality to employ practices and techniques that drew the best of both schools. Since then Roberto has gone his own way, gradually acquiring plots of Barolo, Barbera and Dolcetto on the steep slopes of the Langhe hills and cultivating them with rigorous respect for nature that defines his concept of winemaking. Thirty years after that distant 1986 in terms of evolution of taste and the market, Roberto has decided to give life to a new selection of Nebbiolo coming from four Cru of Barolo in the municipality of La Morra (Fossati, La Serra, Case Nere and Boiolo). Thus an “opening” Barolo becomes part of the family, also with its joyful colored dress that seems to mock the stereotypical sobriety of many wine labels. In Roberto as in his wines there is nothing conventional, even if the 2016, first vintage of his first second vin, already sounds like a great classic. You never stop growing, there will always be time to age.
