La Morra is the softest, most flowery municipality in the Barolo region – that's not a cliché, it's geology. The limestone-rich, marl-like soils of this high altitude give the Nebbiolo a fineness of tannin and a floral aroma that is not found in the sandier sites of Serralunga or Castiglione Falletto. Roberto Voerzio has understood these characteristics better than almost anyone else – and has built up his entire business on La Morra since 1986. The Barolo del Comune di La Morra brings together four of his most important single vineyards in one wine: Cerequio, La Serra, Fossati and Case Nere. None of these parcels stands back – each brings its own character, its own texture, its own flavour. The assemblage is not created to hide imperfections, but to fully reveal the image of the commune. 12 months in tonneaux, then bottle ageing. Natural yeasts, no filtration, no intervention.

2021 was a classic, concentrated vintage. The Comune di La Morra shows it from its most powerful side: dark fruit, lush volume, velvety tannins of great density. Deep garnet red colour. Dark fruit, fresh plums, cherries, undergrowth, coconut, flowers and Mediterranean herbs on the nose. Concentrated and full-bodied on the palate, with a full body, thick, velvety tannins and a long, refreshing final. Cerequio, La Serra, Fossati and Case Nere in one glass. SUPERIORE.DE

"Excessive dark fruits on the nose, fresh plums, dark cherries, undergrowth, coconut, flowers and aromatic Mediterranean herbs. Concentrated and powerful, it shows a full body, good roasted sweetness on the palate and thick, grainy, ripe, velvety tannins. Refreshing finish." James Suckling
