Barolo Brunate Voerzio 2000

The 2000 Barolo Brunate by Roberto Voerzio is a benchmark expression of Nebbiolo, crafted from one of the most celebrated vineyards in the Langhe region. Known for its meticulous vineyard management and low-yield philosophy, Voerzio produces wines that epitomize power, elegance, and complexity, and this vintage is no exception.

The 2000 vintage was characterized by a warm and even growing season, resulting in wines of richness and approachability. This Barolo Brunate offers a strikingly deep garnet hue and an intensely aromatic bouquet. Expect notes of dried rose petals, cherry liqueur, blackberry, and sweet spices like cinnamon and clove, intertwined with earthy undertones of truffle and tobacco.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with finely integrated tannins and a core of ripe, concentrated fruit. Hints of dark chocolate, licorice, and balsamic notes add to its complexity, while its fresh acidity provides structure and balance, ensuring the wine’s continued evolution in the bottle.

This vintage is drinking beautifully now but has the pedigree to age gracefully for years to come. It’s an extraordinary example of Roberto Voerzio’s artistry and the timeless allure of the Brunate cru.
