About this winery

The winery was established in 1986 in La Morra, a town in the heart of the Langhe that has always been renowned for the greatness of its vineyards, some of which were mentioned in town records going back as far as 1250. They began with 2 hectares, and over the years have managed to acquire the most prestigious, historic crus for the production of Barolo, such as La Serra, Brunate, Cerequio, Sarmassa, Rocche dell'Annunziata and Fossati, and excellent vineyards for Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and...

Tasting notes

Ruby-red in color, on the nose it offers suggestive notes of tobacco, blackberry, mocha and spices, with hints of dried fruits. Fat, super-ripe, rich and chewy in the mouth with liqueur-like red currant flavors complicated by minerals, cedar, leather and black spices. The finish is big, with polished tannins framing a solid and massive structure. The most concetrated and richest of Roberto Voerzio’s Barolos.

Antonio Galloni, (Vintage 2014)

The 2014 La Serra is another knockout wine from Roberto Voerzio. La Serra is a site that tends to produce nervous, slightly angular wines. In 2014, though, Voerzio manages to temper some of that tannic edge. Dark cherry and plum fruit are nicely rendered in this surprisingly silky, unctuous Barolo. Blood orange, spice, menthol and licorice grow in the glass as the wine's upper register begins to emerge over time. This is a remarkably harmonious young Barolo.
