Roberto Voerzio Fossati case Nere Riserva, Barolo, Piedmont, Italy 2007

Now a living legend of Piemonte, Roberto founded his philosophy on 3 pillars: Prime Location, Natural Farming, and the Unique maintenance of vineyards -low yields, extreme selection (green harvest) with high density plantation. He strives for a wine that only finds perfection in its rarity. This 2007 vintage of Barolo is showing lots of perfume, roses, tar and cedar. Full-bodied, yet tight and dense like a tightly knit ball. Very tannic yet polished and caressing. A fantastic red from a fantastic winery. Drink now or cellar for many years ahead.
