Roberto Voerzio

Roberto Voerzio is famous for utilizing extreme green-harvesting techniques in his La Morra vineyards. By drastically thinning the crop early in the season, he forces the vine to channel all its energy into a tiny amount of exceptionally concentrated Nebbiolo grapes.

Roberto Voerzio's winery is located in the commune of La Morra, which is situated within the Piedmont region of Italy. This specific area is renowned for producing some of the world's most highly sought-after and aromatic Barolo wines from the Nebbiolo grape.

Because of their extreme concentration and intense structure, Voerzio's Barolos generally require extensive cellaring before they are ready to drink. Most collectors recommend waiting at least a decade, and often significantly longer, for these Piedmontese Nebbiolo wines to fully soften and integrate.

Like all authentic Barolo producers in Piedmont, Roberto Voerzio crafts his Barolo exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. His aggressive approach to yield reduction in La Morra extracts the maximum possible concentration, color, and flavor from these thin-skinned grapes.
