Description

This is a blend of fruit from across Voerzio’s holdings in the upper reaches of the Comune di La Morra, in crus like La Serra, Fossati and Case Nere. There is immediacy here: lots of floral notes and juicy fruit, all cherries and raspberries and earthy spices. This really is amazingly complex for a Comune wine, but it still finishes on a lithe, refreshing note.

Critics reviews

James Suckling
94/100

A fine and linear red with dark berries, bark, mushrooms and hints of dried spice. Firm and racy tannins and a flavorful finish. Dried orange peel. Needs four or five years to soften. Best after 2026.

About The Wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region. A notoriously pernickety grape, it requires sheltered south-facing sites and performs best on the well-drained calcareous marls to the north and south of Alba in the DOCG zones of Barbaresco and Barolo.

Piedmont

Piedmont has been the pre-eminent fine wine province of Italy since Roman times. Located in the north-west of the country, it is influenced culturally and climatically by the surrounding Alps and Ligurian Apennines. Its most important fine wine regions are the Langhe, incorporating Barolo and Barbaresco; Monferrato, comprising the wines of Asti and Gavi; and Novara with its Colline Novaresi and Boca.
