About the Wine

What can we expect from a region where the main gastronomic products are wine, cheese, and truffles? Pure perfection and a perfect destination for foodies. 

The Langhe is an area of ​​protected hills and recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site. It is also where excellent, elegant, and balanced wines are produced.

Perched atop the enchanting hill of La Morra in Piedmont, Italy, Voerzio Martini embodies a fusion of tradition and innovation in winemaking. For over 30 years, the visionary Gianni Voerzio has crafted exceptional Barolo, now joined by his dynamic twin offspring, Mirko and Federica Martini. Together, they oversee 19 acres of vineyards, crafting wines that epitomize Piedmont's terroir.

At Voerzio Martini, family is paramount, and their winemaking approach reflects this bond. They prioritize concentration over ostentation, favoring larger barrels for aging and eschewing excessive new oak. Each grape is handpicked and fermented in stainless steel tanks, ensuring meticulous attention to detail.

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Langhe, Piedmont provides the backdrop to this winemaking journey. Here, Voerzio Martini seamlessly blends heritage with modernity, preserving the expertise of Gianni Voerzio while embracing the innovative zeal of Mirko and Federica.

Their mission is simple yet profound: to nurture vineyards with care, preserving the land's integrity while producing grapes of unparalleled quality. From historic estates like La Serra to coveted Crus such as Cerequio and Monvigliero, every vineyard is cherished.

In the cellar, Mirko expertly blends new French oak and Slovenian botti, coaxing forth the purest expression of Barolo's terroir. The result? Wines that speak of tradition yet resonate with the vibrancy of the next generation.

Aging: 6 to 8 months in French oak barrels (60% new).

Tasting notes: 100% Nebbiolo. Intense ruby red color. On the nose, the wine WOWS with rose petals, violet, cranberry, raspberry, and saddle leather with a touch of vanilla. The wine is rich and balanced, coupled with full notes of cocoa and overripe fruits that give this well-structured wine great longevity and power.  

Reviews

Notes of fresh raspberries and cranberries with orange peel and spices. Juicy and savory with a medium body and dusty texture. Spiced and racy finish. Drink now. ~91 James Suckling

Vanilla and resin flavors lead off in this powerful Nebbiolo, underlined with cherry and berry fruit. This is concentrated and solidly built, offering good overall balance and a firm grip of tannins. Decant now. Drink now through 2030. 500 cases made, 168 cases imported. ~90 Wine Spectator
