About this wine

Il Cerreto comes from low-yielding Barbera vines around La Morra and is vinified with the same care as Voerzio’s Barolo. The nose offers ripe cherry, blackberry and spice, underpinned by subtle oak and earth. On the palate it’s rich and concentrated, with high acidity perfectly balanced by deep fruit and fine tannins. It’s a gastronomic Barbera that can age several years but is already compelling with hearty dishes.

Tasting Note

Critics emphasise cherry and plum fruit with vivid freshness and notes that the wine gains structure and complexity from ageing in tonneaux and cask.

In the glass

Deep ruby with purple hints.

In the nose

Ripe cherry, dark plum, cocoa, sweet spice and a touch of coffee.

On the palate

Full and vigorous, bright Barbera acidity, fine tannins and a long, fruit-and-spice finish.

Roberto Voerzio

Roberto Voerzio is one of Barolo’s most influential modernists, famed for extreme low yields and meticulous vineyard work. The wines are intensely concentrated yet surprisingly refined, with glossy fruit, fine-grained tannins and impressive purity. His Baroli from crus like Brunate, La Serra and Rocche dell’Annunziata have become cult references for opulent, collectible Nebbiolo.
