Roberto Voerzio Riserva Pozzo dell'Annunziata Barbera d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy 2016 1.5L

Riserva ‘Pozzo dell’Annunziata’ Barbera d’Alba 2016, Piedmont, Italy

One of the most extraordinary expressions of Barbera, from Roberto Voerzio, a legendary producer in La Morra who applies the same uncompromising precision to this grape as he does to his celebrated Barolos. Sourced from the Pozzo and Annunziata vineyard sites, the wine comes from exceptionally low-yielding vines, with production focused on concentration without sacrificing freshness.

The 2016 delivers a remarkable combination of silky, saturated dark fruit and vibrant acidity. Blackberry, blueberry and black cherry mingle with cranberry, espresso, toasted spice and a subtle savory, mineral edge. Full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, it has a velvety texture, impressive energy and a remarkably persistent finish.

This is Barbera elevated to a world-class level: intense, polished and compelling, with the freshness to balance its richness and the depth to reward careful cellaring. A rare collector’s bottle and an essential experience for anyone who loves serious Piedmontese wine.
