Disanfrancesco – di San Francesco. Two plots in La Morra that bear the name of St Francis and are located right next to Brunate, the famous MGA from which the great Voerzio Baroli come. If you want to understand what that means, you just need to know: Roberto Voerzio is considered one of the producers with the lowest yields in the entire Barolo zone. Less than one bottle per vine. The first vintage of Disanfrancesco was released in 2001 – when Voerzio made the decision to vinify his best Nebbiolo below the Barolo appellation: more accessible, drinkable earlier, but still with the relentless vineyard philosophy of the house. South-east exposure, around 450 metres, 6,000 to 8,000 vines per hectare, maximum 1.5 kilograms per vine. Natural yeasts, steel, then 12 months in tonneaux at 30% new, followed by a further 8 months in 25-hectolitre barrels and steel. No filtration, no fining, no intervention.

The result is a Nebbiolo that is enchanting in its accessibility and surprising in its origin. Bright ruby red in colour. Black cherries, dried wild flowers, mint, white pepper and a hint of undergrowth on the nose. Silky and elegant on the palate, with fine powder tannins, lively freshness and a long, balsamic-mineral final. Brunate, just two steps away – and perceptible in the glass. SUPERIORE.DE
