O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY
Roberto Voerzio jedan je od najpriznatijih proizvođača vina u Pijemontu. Njegova Barolo vina vrlo su cijenjena na aukcijama, a poznata su po tome što su zrela, bogata i manje tanična i hrastova od mnogih drugih primjera poznatog naziva.
Imanje posjeduje ili upravlja s 8,5 hektara vinograda oko La Morre, s velikom gustoćom sadnje koja daje male prinose. Postoji šest različitih parcela u nizu Barolo crusa: Brunate, Cerequio, Capalot, La Serra, Pozzo dell’Anunziata i Sarmassa di Barolo, koji su svi izvori za pojedinačne cuvée.
Roberto Voerzio smatra se vrhunskim modernistom, ali to je očitije u stilu gotovog vina, a ne u metodologiji iza toga. Maceracije obično traju 15 dana, što se uklapa u tradicionalistički tabor i, iako Voerzio trenutno koristi male barriquee za odležavanje, izrazio je želju da se vrati svojoj prijašnjoj praksi kombiniranja barriquea s većim hrastovim bačvama. Imanje je nastalo 1980-ih kada je Roberto naslijedio pet hektara vinograda svog oca.
Roberto Voerzio is one of the most acclaimed wine producers in Piedmont. His Barolo wines are highly prized at auction, and are known for being ripe, rich, and less tannic and oaky than many other examples of the famous appellation.
The estate owns or manages 8.5 hectares of vineyards around La Morra, with high planting densities producing tiny yields. There are six different parcels of in a range of Barolo crus: Brunate, Cerequio, Capalot, La Serra, Pozzo dell’Anunziata and Sarmassa di Barolo, which are all sources for individual cuvées.
Roberto Voerzio is regarded as an arch modernist, but this is more evident in the style of the finished wine rather than the methodology behind it. Macerations are typically 15 days, which fits into the traditionalist camp and, although Voerzio currently uses small barriques for aging, he has stated a desire to return to his previous practice of combining barriques with larger oak casks. The estate was formed in the 1980s when Roberto inherited five hectares of his father’s vineyards.
