The 2015 Barolo Fossati is slightly more accessible (by the smallest of margins) with well-defined fruit notes of wild berry and redcurrant, followed by rose hip, spice and dusty mineral or crushed slate. This wine is enormously focused and sharp, right down to its deep inner core, with elegant padding and layering at the back. It shows volume and length. The textural fiber of this wine is slightly more relaxed. This is an elegantly constructed and conceived expression of Nebbiolo from one of La Morra's most gifted artisans.
Producer
Azienda Agricola Voerzio Roberto
Among the La Morra commune terroir, in the heart of the Langhe, the Roberto Voerzio manages six plots of Barolo vines. They represent the most highly esteemed sites in the region – Brunate, La Serra, Cerequio, Rocche dell’Annunziata/Torriglione, Vecchie Vite dei Capalot e dell Brunate, and Sarmassa. The winery was founded in 1986 by Roberto and his wife. Described by many as an Italy’s ultimate cult winery, the estate prides themselves on their modernist views, and extremely low yields. Actually, his success stems from what are considered the lowest yields of fruit in the Barolo zone. His limited production produces almost one bottle per vine. The resulting wines are fashioned away from the classic tannic Barolo style, taking on a modernist approach that create neither overly extracted nor oaky blends. Voerzio’s passion shines through, he creates age-worthy wines from even the smallest of vintages. His products are always of the upmost quality, as he is known to be among the world’s most gifted winemakers.
