Roberto Voerzio
When you think of Barolo wines, there are the usual few super star status wineries that come to mind, but you’ve got to add Roberto Voerzio to that list.
Roberto’s winery was founded in 1986 in La Morra, a village in the heart of the Langhe, always known for its vineyards, some of which were mentioned in the municipalities books since 1350. To some, he’s known as a legendary winemaker as well.
The estate’s plantings are dense, yet yields are kept extremely low because Roberto believes in only using grapes of the highest quality in his wines and discarding those that fall short of the estate’s standards.
His ultimate goal is to produces wines that have the purest expression of Nebbiolo possible.
