Roberto Voerzio – Barbera d’Alba Riserva Vigneto Pozzo dell’Annunziata – 2007

Roberto Voerzio, icon of avant-garde viticulture in the Langhe. His style is unique, his love for wine and the land have led him to produce great wines. The facts speak for themselves, 8000 plants per hectare, super selection of the bunches, aggressive thinning, 500 grams of grapes per plant (traditionally Piedmontese winemakers collect about 2 kilograms). The work in the vineyards is more than maniacal, its plants are immediately recognized by their cleanliness and order, and the philosophy of using only organic products and manure for the well-being of the vines does not go unnoticed.
He founded his company in the 1980s by buying the best vineyards with the most beautiful exposures, producing limited quantities for each cru with a surprising and unparalleled power and structure.
Brunate, La Serra, Cerequio, Rocche dell’Annunziata and Fossati are the vineyards of the same name in which the various crus are vinified in purity, all located in La Morra and always considered the most prestigious for the quality of the grapes. The Barbera Pozzo dell’Annunziata is a legendary wine when it comes to Barbere and the range of production of Roberto Voerzio, so much so that it is recognized as a reference wine. Planted in the 90s in the Pozzo dell’Annunziata hamlet of La Morra, with 8000 plants per hectare and a manual harvest of less than 500 grams of grapes per plant … No other producer has a care and attention for Barbera plants , especially in an area where Barolo is produced. The production is very limited 1500 bottles, produced only in magnum format. To say that it is a wine bomb is very little! This is the classic bottle to try at least once in a lifetime.
2007 was a slightly early but less exuberant vintage than 2003. Here, too, our Voerzio made no mistake and managed to make a pulpy Barbera but with a nice acidity stamp.
