Roberto Voerzio

There are few cases in which a producer, in the space of 20 years, has managed to become one of the most prestigious and popular vigneron in the world. Roberto Voerzio has achieved this result thanks to his tenacity in pursuing the highest quality, without compromise. Roberto is a worker of the vineyard, and he believes that everything depends on this. His work in the vineyard is meticulous, almost obsessive, and this lets him take from it, with a mortifying thinning, a substance of such purity that his wines are always better than others. Within a few years, Roberto managed to acquire some of the most famous crus of the Barolo district, in the hilly area of the town of La Morra e Barolo. In the early 80s he was among the first vinegrowers in Langa to radically reinterpret the work in the vineyard, before creating new high–density plants, then doing a meticulous work among the rows, opting for a drastic reduction in yield per hectare, in favor of a raw material of high quality. Who, at the time, walked in his lands, thought he was mad: all those grapes on the ground! Today from his vineyards, curated as gardens, extraordinary wines come, great as any other else for steadiness and quality, an example of elegance and interpretation of the terroir. A true model of total quality. Since the mid–nineties Roberto Voerzio, has been consistently at the top positions in all the world ranking of the most important publications in the sector, thanks to its magnificent Barolo, to which he was able to give a thoroughly modern and innovative mark, always in the rut of the tradition.
