Overview

This is an Italian cult winery at its finest. Some particulars of the Voerzio winery are low production and very little wine for our, or any, market and high high scores with all wine publications and journalists. He’s a modernist to the extent that he fashions his wine away from the traditional tannic Barolo style.The wines are not over-extracted and oaky. There is an eager market for Barolo, and good Barolos are never inexpensive so unsurprisingly Voerzio’s top wines are trophy items. La Serra is the most concentrated and richest of Roberto Voerzio’s Barolos.

Reviews

Wine Spectator - June 2008 - James Suckling - 97 points

Barolo La Serra 2004 - Offers aromas of blackberry, licorice and tar. Intense and full-bodied, with a wonderful concentration of fruit, supersilky tannins and a complex finish of pure fruit and Indian spices. Superb for the vintage. Best after 2012
