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. Pozzo Dell'Annunziata, is located 900-1,100 ft. above sea level, with southeastern exposure and a calcareous, clayey soil composition. The Vineyard covers 7.000 sq. meters acres planted in early 1990s with a density of 3,237 vines per acre vines per acre. The vines are planted in the Guyot method and yield 1 ton per acre tons per acre. The first vintage was bottled in 1996, and 1,350 bottles produced annually. The 2001 vintage has a big and rich, with black licorice, plum and toasty oak character. Full-bodied and almost jammy, with layers of fruit, velvety tannins, and a long finish. Available in Magnum Bottles. (3 x 1.5 Litres)
