Barolo, La Serra, 2013
The coolest and rockiest of Voerzio’s vineyards and the wine is, needless to say, firmer and more vital than the others. The right side of austere, impressive, chiselled flavours, dark and red forest berry fruit, crunchy fresh and mineral, tight knit and beautifully precise. It will require time but promises much. This is Voerzio’s highest Barolo vineyard, situated in the commune of La Morra, at between 380 to 430 metres above sea level.
critic reviews
The 2013 Barolo La Serra is superb. In fact, the 2013 is one of the most impressive young La Serras I have ever tasted from Roberto Voerzio because the tannins are much more polished than is typically the case here, where the high altitude of this site tends to produce sinewy, nervous Barolos. Today, the 2013 is brilliant and super-expressive, with remarkable precision and class. As always, the flavors are bright and floral, with a good underpinning of chalky, mineral-driven tones, with remarkable polish and class to burn. What a gorgeous wine this is.
