Roberto Voerzio, Barbera d’Alba “Il Cerreto,” 2018
About the Wine:
Aromas of black cherries, plum skin, hints of mocha, warm leather. Deep and savory, great length. Pair with grilled chicken, salumi with truffles and pasta with game sauce.
About the Producer:
Roberto and Gianni Voerzio inherited their holdings from their father Gianni, who bottled wines under his own name until the early 1980s. Today, they make wines separately a few hundred yards apart, with Roberto and his wife operating six plots of Barolo vines in La Morra. He is referred to a “Demi-God of Barolo.”
