    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Roberto Voerzio, Barolo, Brunate, 2010

    Considerably more brooding and muscled than the Cerequio, this is hugely powerful and profound but will require a decade or two to reveal its full potential, intense earthy, autumnal flavours of dark hedgerow fruit infused with notes of Asian spice, undergrowth, herbs and cinnamon, despite the robust structure the finish boasts haunting clear flavours of sweet and spicy fruit. Monumental. Situated in La Morra at between 250 and 400 metres above sea level, facing east and south-east, this is one of the highest vineyards in the area that produces powerful, complex and very complete wines. Only 200 cases are made.

    Antonio Galloni, Vinous
    A super-classic Roberto Voerzio wine, the 2013 Barolo Brunate is powerful yet translucent, with exceptional balance and tons of class. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, menthol and a host of balsamic-inflected overtones develop nicely in the glass. In 2013, the Brunate possesses good depth, while its customary power and structure emerges with notable reluctance. Simply put, the 2013 is a jewel of a wine.
