This estate, started by Giacomo Voerzio in the 1950's, has been run by his son Roberto since the 1980's and has done exceedingly well under this new regime. Considered by many to be the leading producer of the region, Roberto Voerzio is an outspoken modernist and is understandably, unabashedly proud of his own estate and techniques. Voerzio's highly concentrated wines are the result of the very low yields he enforces in the vineyard, leaving 8 buds per vine. If the summer is exceptional, it is left as is and yields little more than 1 bottle per vine, approximately 2 tons per acre. If the weather is rainy and cool in late August or early September, production is reduced. Cerequio, located 820 ft. above sea level, with South exposure and a calcareous and clay soil composition. Made from 100% Nebbiolo the first vintage was bottled in 1987 and 4,000 bottles are produced annually. Aged in new and old barriques the wine is aged 20-25 months followed by an additional 2-3 years in bottle prior to release from the winery. A deep ruby-red colour wine with an aromatic nose of dried rose and truffle. The Nebbiolo exhibits flavors of ripe cherries and roses that explode with a complex and persistent roundness. This Voerzio has an extremely long finish, with granular tannins this is a wine to be savoured. (12 x 75 cl)
