Description
What kind of wine it is
Barolo Le Viti di Livio by Roberto Voerzio is a still red wine with controlled and guaranteed designation of origin, elegantly expressing the character of Piedmont through the exclusive use of Nebbiolo grapes, vinified with indigenous yeasts. In the glass, it stands out for its deep and bright garnet red colour. The aromatic profile reveals an intense bouquet of rose, violet and ripe cherry, enhanced by notes of red citrus fruits, fine spices and delicate balsamic hints. On the palate, it is layered and precise, supported by silky tannins and vibrant freshness, finishing with a long and savoury aftertaste.
Where it comes from
This red originates in the municipality of La Morra, in the heart of the renowned Barolo region. The producer is Roberto Voerzio, an estate that has managed its vineyards since 1986 following strict principles to protect the environment. Cultivation avoids the use of chemical fertilisers, herbicides and anti-mould products, using only humus or cattle manure according to the actual needs of the plant. The high planting density is designed to limit yields and encourage the harvest of concentrated grapes rich in nuances.
How it is produced
The vinification process involves fermentation triggered solely by indigenous yeasts, essential for faithfully preserving the aromatic profile of the grapes. Respecting natural rhythms, maturation continues until bottling, usually carried out in August during the waning moon. To enhance its perfect balance, a one-hour decanting is recommended and serving at a temperature of 18-20 °C. The structure and savoury texture of the sip pair beautifully with game, braised meats, red meats and mature cheeses.
