Overview

Roberto Voerzio is one of the stars of Piedmont and is famous for his Barolos, which are now cult wines. Roberto fully subscribes to the philosophy that great wines start with great vineyard practice and he sports the lowest yields in the Langhe zone. It is great to be able to enjoy Voerzio's wine at such a favourable price. His single vineyard Dolcetto Priavino is a supple and easy drinking wine with an affinity to many food pairings.
