Livio's vines. Roberto Voerzio named this Barolo after his father, the man who worked on this land in La Morra before him, who planted and tended the vines that have now become one of the most important wineries in the entire Barolo zone. It is the least spectacular gesture of the house – and at the same time one of the strongest. The wine brings together several parcels in La Morra – not a single MGA, not a single vineyard, but a distillation of the local terroir from the hand of a man who knows this region better than almost anyone else. In La Morra – the commune that stands for the softest, most floral, silkiest Nebbioli of the entire appellation – this approach results in a logic reminiscent of Burgundy: the place as character, not the parcel as trademark. The vineyard philosophy is the same as for every Voerzio wine: natural manure from Alpine cows, no herbicides, no chemical intervention, harvest quantities that remain below one kilogramme per vine. Natural yeasts, no filtration, no additives. Less than one bottle per vine.

2022 was a warm, concentrated year in La Morra, with early ripeness and great aromatic depth – stylistically more accessible than 2021, structurally with great Storage potential. Deep, bright garnet red colour. Orange peel, dried rose, black tea, macerated cherry and light tobacco on the nose – an aroma of exceptional finesse, typical of La Morra and typical of Voerzio. The palate is dense and characterised by Voerzio's characteristic velvety texture, without ever becoming massive: balanced, long, with a final that shows the depth of the terroir. The best value entry into the world of Barolo from Roberto Voerzio – and proof that "entry" is a relative term here. SUPERIORE.DE
