The 2010 Barolo Case Nere Riserva is a monumental wine from one of Barolo’s most celebrated vintages. The bouquet is explosive yet refined, with layers of dark cherry, black plum, and blackberry compote, evolving into notes of rose petal, violets, licorice, tar, and exotic spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and commanding, with immense concentration balanced by vibrant acidity and firm, tightly woven tannins. Mineral undertones, tobacco, and truffle add further depth, while the finish is exceptionally long, echoing dark fruit and savory earth. Still at the dawn of its evolution, this 2010 Riserva has decades ahead of it, promising to unfold into a wine of extraordinary complexity and power—one of the true pinnacles of Roberto Voerzio’s artistry.
Roberto Voerzio is one of Barolo’s most visionary winemakers, recognized globally for his uncompromising vineyard management and ultra-low yields. Based in La Morra, he has redefined what modern Barolo can be, combining power and concentration with a polished, elegant style. His philosophy is simple yet radical: cut yields to some of the lowest in Italy (sometimes one bunch per vine) to achieve unparalleled intensity of fruit, then vinify with precision and finesse. Among his rarest and most collectible wines is the Case Nere Riserva, made only in the finest vintages and aged for an extended period before release. These Riservas are produced in tiny quantities and are among the most sought-after bottlings in Barolo, prized by collectors for their longevity and sheer grandeur.
