Critic Scores

I love the character of the 2009 Barolo La Serra and was immediately blown away by the beauty of the bouquet. The wine exhibits exotic tones of cumin seed and cardamom that take your senses to an imaginary North African bazaar. The consistency is soft and sensual.

The 2009 Barolo La Serra impresses for its finesse and balance. There is so much fruit in the 2009 that the angular tannins typical of this site are virtually buried. Sweet floral notes intermingled with mint, raspberries and rose petals all add lift and freshness on the finish. The 2009 opens up beautifully with time in the glass. Today it is wonderfully vivid and alive in the glass.

Dark red. Much more floral on the nose than the Cerequio, offering scents of black cherry, raspberry, violet and brown spices. Vinous, slightly high-toned and penetrating, offering a lovely combination of inner-mouth perfume, finesse of texture, sheer flavor intensity and powerful spine. Finishes very long, fresh and suave. A knockout.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Roberto Voerzio stands among Barolo's contemporary masters, founded in 1984 and recognised for precise viticulture and modern interpretation of tradition. La Serra, one of his premier crus, occupies south-east-facing slopes with complex, decomposed limestone soils. Voerzio pioneered close observation of phenolic maturity and meticulous canopy work to ensure balanced ripeness. The 2009 vintage was warm and generous across Piedmont, allowing exceptional Nebbiolo maturation. His approach balances ripe fruit with the variety's essential freshness.

Vinification

Voerzio selects grapes at optimal ripeness and ferments in temperaturally controlled vessels with natural yeasts, managing maceration length to extract without over-extracting. Ageing in large and medium-format cask allows the wine's structure to emerge gradually. Extended barrel time (typically 30+ months) facilitates integration of tannins and development of secondary complexity. The 2009, released after careful cellaring, displays both power and refinement characteristic of the vintage and Voerzio's meticulous technique.

About this Wine

Nebbiolo

The noble red grape of Piedmont, Italy, behind Barolo and Barbaresco, known for its high tannin, acidity, and ageing potential.

Piedmont

Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) is probably the finest wine region in all of Italy, and has laid claim to this since Roman times. It has a continental climate influenced by the surrounding Alps and Ligurian Apennines, and is located in the north-west of Italy, bordering both France and Switzerland.

Piedmont has only 1% of the total vineyards of Bordeaux and 15% that of Burgundy. So while a top Chateaux may produce upwards of 35,000 cases a year, leading Barolo producers will often make only 800 cases. More than half of its vineyards are registered with DOC designations and many are in the Apennine or Alpine foothills, from 300-600m above sea level. Most of the wines are produced by smaller family estates rather than larger holdings.

Piedmont has 46 different DOC and four DOCG regions, and produces the largest number of well known, world-recognized, prize-winning wines. The most famous would have to be Barolo or Barbaresco, whose power comes from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The most widely planted red variety is Barbera although Dolcetto, Muscat, Shiraz and Bonarda are also produced.

The white variety most well known is Moscato, which is often made into frizzante (bubbly) wines known as Asti. Cortese is made into the popular Gavi wines, and smaller amounts of Chardonnay and high quality Sparkling are also produced in the far north of Piedmont.
