Barolo
Known as the king of wines, it is potent, complex and long-lived wine made from the Nebbiolo grape. The appellation is spread over 2,134 ha in total and consists of several villages and communes. divided into a multitude of individual vineyard sites and crus similar to Burgundy, with many producers owning small plots of the individual crus.
The main winemaking approach is a long maceration of Nebbiolo grapes - between 30 to 60 days -followed by a long maturation period in large old casks for a minimum of 38 months. And many producers often choose to age their wines even longer than this because of the intense fruit and powerful tannins of their grapes.
The combination of microclimate, altitude, soil, exposition and each winemaker’s individual touch is what makes every Barolo different. And in the main communes such as Serralunga, Castiglione Falletto, and La Morra, their Barolos are renowned for certain characteristics unique to each of them, due to their differing soils and exposition.

The 2008 Barolo Riserva 10 Anni Fossati Case Nere is superb and also a great example of the year. Effusive in its bouquet, the 2008 is so expressive today, but it is also quite young, its freshness makes abundantly clear. Sweet pipe tobacco, mint, dried cherry, licorice, cloves and menthol bring out darker shades of Nebbiolo that work so well here. The 2008 is a wine of somber beauty and nuance.Inc. TAX€1,616.87 -

Black fruit, smoke, tobacco, licorice and incense all blossom in Roberto Voerzio's 2010 Barolo Riserva 10 Anni Case Nere. Firm tannins provide the backdrop in a Barolo that stands out for its dark, brooding personality. The quality of the tannins is quite similar to that found in La Serra, which lies right next to Fossati. There is an explosiveness to the 2010 that is just waiting to emerge, which I am fairly certain will...in time. Recent bottles of the 2003 and 2004 have been superb.Inc. TAX€1,798.38 -

The 2011 Barolo Riserva 10 Anni Case Nere wraps around the palate with stunning, utterly sensual beauty. Sweet floral notes meld into expressive red stone fruits in a lifted, perfumed Barolo built on aromatics and silkiness. Exotic orange peel and tangerine notes add brightness on the finish.Inc.

The 2012 Barolo Riserva 10 Anni Case Nere is one of the more aromatically beguiling wines in this range. Smoke, game, sage, rosemary, licorice and crushed rose petals all lift from the glass. A weightless, totally gracious wine, the 2012 Case Nere is wonderfully complete, nuanced and very pretty. Next to the other wines in the range, the Case Nere is a bit fragile and ethereal in feel, but it is the wine's aromatic presence that truly stands out.Inc. TAX€1,262.33 -

What a surprise. Best La Serra ever from here. Perfection. This is really ripe, with dark and dried fruits. Almost raisiny, with grilled meat too. Full bodied, with an insane amount of power and fruit. Incredible depth and power. Mind blowing. Such power. Explosion of fruit. Give it five or six years of bottle age.Inc. TAX€2,725.16 -

The 2013 Barolo La Serra is superb. In fact, the 2013 is one of the most impressive young La Serras I have ever tasted from Roberto Voerzio because the tannins are much more polished than is typically the case here, where the high altitude of this site tends to produce sinewy, nervous Barolos. Today, the 2013 is brilliant and super-expressive, with remarkable precision and class. As always, the flavors are bright and floral, with a good underpinning of chalky, mineral-driven tones, with remarkable polish and class to burn. What a gorgeous wine this is.Inc. TAX€897.83 -

The 2014 Barolo La Serra is bright, floral and energetic, with all of the sinewy tension that is typical of this site. I would cellar the 2014 for at least a few years to allow some of the angular contours to soften. There is a good deal of inner sweetness that will emerge in time. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint and dried cherry all grace this expressive, savory Barolo from Roberto Voerzio.Inc. TAX€1,134.48 -

Less expressive, firmer and more mineral. More salty and oceanic than the Brunate with a chalky texture. Athletic and nervy but good strength and line. Winter berries and black cherry stones with a herbal, leafy quality. This is Voerzio’s highest Barolo vineyard, situated in the commune of La Morra, at between 380 to 430 metres above sea level. Aged for two years in a mix of big and small barrels, light toast, French oak (15, 20, 30 and 35 HL sizes for the big barrels).Inc. TAX€1,114.79 -

Potent with spice, the 2019 Barolo La Serra is a ripe ruby color and has a great bouquet of pine needles, fresh red cherries, blood orange zest, and dark mineral earth. From a site that gets more diurnal shift and wind, it has great structure, with ripe tannins, a weightless feel, and great concentration and purity. It boasts a lovely sanguine touch that seams through the wine with nervous energy and is sure to provide a great deal of longevity. This is only going to improve with time. Drink 2025-2055.Inc.

The 2014 Barolo Torriglione, tasted from magnum, is a very beautiful wine. The aromatics alone are exquisite. Dried flowers, mint, sweet red berry fruit, tobacco and licorice all grace this beguiling and expressive Barolo. All the elements come together so effortlessly. Slightly nervous tannins give the 2014 a real sense of vibrancy. It's a wonderful wine in a very challenging vintage. Available only in magnum.Inc. TAX€1,821.59 -

The 2014 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is slightly (just a hair) more accessible at this very premature stage in its drinking life. The wine opens to broad and wide fruit flavors that include cassis, wild cherry and dried blueberry with savory tones of tar, licorice and tobacco. These elements are carefully stitched together within a tight and elaborate embroidery. The mouthfeel is silky and long, but there is also a very subtle element of softness that makes this wine taste smooth and rich on the palate.Inc. TAX€1,550.63 -

Similar notes of mulled black cherries, menthol, toasted spices, tobacco, and licorice emerge from the 2015 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata. It has the ripe, sexy style of the vintage, medium to full-bodied richness, an elegant, seamless texture, and a great finish. There are plenty of tannins here, yet they're sweet and polished, and this beauty already offers pleasure. Nevertheless, it's going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and should have three decades of overall longevity.Inc. TAX€1,211.99 -

Enticing aromas of orange peel, mushrooms and plums with hints of stone and dark chocolate. This is a very tight wine with chewy, focused tannins that hit you just at the end. It’s tight and reserved now. Give it two or three years to start to open up. Try after 2023 and onwards.Inc. TAX€1,013.99 -

The 2017 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata is a pleasant, easygoing Barolo from Roberto Voerzio. Lifted, perfumed Rocche aromatics meld into a core of crushed red berry fruit, rose petal, blood orange and spice. The 2017 is a bit more nervy than most vintages, but the brisk tannins help convey a measure of freshness that is quite welcome in this vintage. The 2017 is a solid wine, but far from inspiring.Inc.
