Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Upon relase, the Barolo La Serra offers aromas of black cherries, red plums, blood orange, menthol and licorice. Fine-grained tannins, good structure.
Try with frilled steak or roasted fowl, risotto with truffles and well-aged Italian sheep’s cheese.

Wine Spectator
Offers dried fruit, such as fruit cake or trail mix, on the nose. Full-bodied, with chewy, fine tannins and a berry, vanilla and coffee bean aftertaste.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 1999 Barolo La Serra is very floral, spicy, and minty, with much mocha on the nose, rich, dense flavors which feature ripe fruit and sweet tar and licorice, and important extract.

Roberto Voerzio roots himself in the vineyards of Piemonte. Working beside both his father and grandfather, the beauty of La Morrainspired Roberto to pioneer for new pastures. Since age 20, the young man was aware of the prestige that came with his region, as well as the untapped potential unforeseen with La Morra and greater Langhe.
Now a living legend of Piemonte, Roberto founded his philosophy on 3 pillars: Prime Location, Natural Farming, and the Unique maintenance of vineyards -low yields, extreme selection (green harvest) with high density plantation. He strives for a wine that only finds perfection in its rarity.
“One of the central tenets of the Voerzio approach,” says Antonio Galloni, “is a steadfast belief that the relationship between low yields and high quality is always linear.”
