Roberto Voerzio – Barbera d’Alba Il Cerreto – 2020

This is a Barbera not produced casually, the only purpose is the enhancement of a micro plot of land combined with the characteristics of the grape itself obtaining a wine of full harmonic purity. The Cerreto vineyard is located around the winery in La Morra with an exposure that goes from east to west, the soils are composed of white sand and silt where also here we find a high-density planting with 8000 vines per hectare from the contained yields with 800 grams of grapes per plant. Vinification of the grapes is carried out in steel tanks for 12 days with the use of their indigenous yeasts, then malolactic fermentation and aging are carried out in tonneaux and 25 hl barrels (70% used) for 12 months where it then rests again 8 months in steel before bottling, in the whole process no filtration is carried out. A wine defined as simple but with aptitude, you can tell by the fragrant aromas of intense red fruit, in the drink is refined and soft in which the acidity remains balanced but marked giving excellent signs of future aging.

Description

Roberto Voerzio, an icon of avant-garde viticulture in the Langhe. His style is unique, his love for wine and the land have led him to produce grandiose wines. The facts speak for themselves, 8000 vines per hectare, super bunch selection, aggressive thinning, 500 grams of grapes per plant ( traditionally Piedmontese winemakers harvest about 2 kilograms). His work in the vineyards is more than manic, his plants are immediately recognizable by their cleanliness and tidiness, and the philosophy of using only organic products and manure for the well-being of the vines does not go unnoticed at all.
He founded his winery in the 1980s by buying the best vineyards with the most beautiful exposures, producing limited quantities for each cru with amazing and unparalleled power and structure.
Brunate, La Serra,Cerequio, Rocche dell’Annunziata and Fossati are the namesake vineyards where he vinifies in purity the various cru, all located in La Morra and always considered the most prestigious for the quality of the grapes.
