The 2016 Barolo Brunate is a profound and majestic expression of one of Barolo’s greatest crus, crafted in a vintage considered among the finest in recent memory. The bouquet is expansive, with aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and plum interlaced with rose petal, licorice, tar, and hints of sweet spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably structured, with firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity giving it balance and longevity. Mineral undertones and savory complexity—leather, tobacco, and earth—emerge as the wine unfolds, leading to a finish of great persistence and finesse. This is a classic Brunate: powerful, layered, and destined to age gracefully for 25–30 years.

Roberto Voerzio, based in La Morra, is one of Barolo’s most celebrated modernist producers, famed for his rigorous viticultural standards and ultra-low yields. His philosophy centers on quality over quantity, often reducing bunches to just a few per vine to achieve unparalleled concentration and purity of fruit. Voerzio’s mastery of single-vineyard Barolos has elevated sites like Brunate, Cerequio, and Rocche dell’Annunziata to global recognition, producing wines that balance intensity and elegance with remarkable ageworthiness. His cellar practices—gentle extraction, meticulous élevage, and precise use of French oak—ensure a style that is both refined and deeply expressive of terroir.
