The Winery

Roberto Voerzio

Voerzio’s passion, his ability to make fabulous, age worthy wines even in the smallest vintages, and his total commitment to quality, even over a period of years that have been very difficult on a personal level place him at the pinnacle of achievement among the world’s most gifted winemakers.
–Antonio Galloni

Roberto Voerzio was founded in 1986 in La Morra which is a village deep in the heart of the Langhe region of Piedmont. The wines are typically sold at auction and are known for being ripe, opulent, tannic, and made for aging. Roberto Voerzio’s fruit comes from their 21 acres of some of the best and oldest vineyeards in La Morra, which are mentioned municipality documents dating back to 1350. Their esteemed wines are made from the six different, low-yielding Barolo Crus: Brunate, Cerequio, Capalot, La Serra, Pozzo dell’Anunziata, and Sarmassa di Barolo. Roberto Voerzio’s portfolio is rounded out by its two Barbera d’Alba wines, a Dolcetto d’Alba, a Langhe Merlot, and a Langhe Nebbiolo. The combination of traditional winemaking methods with a modern take has made Voerzio a new-age example for Barolo.

Tasting Notes

WA97
The 2000 Cerequio blossoms on the palate with a burst of small red berries, followed by sweet spices, freshly cut roses, mint and eucalyptus. It possesses gorgeous inner perfume and the silkiest of tannins. The 2000 remains remarkably fresh, with just the faintest signs of early tertiary development. This is for me the reference-point wine from the Cerequio vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030.
V97
I have always had a weakness for Roberto Voerzio`s 2000 Barolo Cerequio, which I think remains one of his best wines to day. Silky, powerful and voluptuous, the 2000 delivers considerable intensity and raciness, all in the ripe, forward style of the year. The 2000 is not especially subtle or nuanced, but it is incredibly delicious today. This is an especially forward, hedonistic wine with all the elements in the right place. The 2000 has been consistently brilliant, as it is once again on this night.
