La Morra, Langhe

The company of Alberto Voerzio, a young winemaker from La Morra, has 4 hectares, of which 1.16 hectares in the “La Serra” cru.
while the remaining vineyards are located in the municipality of La Morra, all aged between 10 and 40 years.

Alberto personally manages the vineyard with great care and dedication, always paying close attention to every phase and every manifestation of the vine, preserving the taste of tradition and the respect for
territory.

The maturation process occurs through planned and targeted thinning to obtain
products with high quality standards. The fermentation of wines is spontaneous without the addition of yeasts or enzymes
or activating; the subsequent phases of the process are carried out through storage and decanting. The wines are not filtered,
but cleaned by natural sedimentation.

For more or less long refinement, we rely solely on barriques, appropriately proportioning the type, vintage and toasting of the wood. During fermentation, 2 manual pumpovers are carried out in the morning and in the evening and the temperatures are controlled. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, 2 rackings are made to clean the wine and the cellar is heated to favor the start of the malolactic fermentation (also spontaneous).

Once this last fermentation is completed, another 3 decantings are made to remove any residual grounds, and the refinement phase begins. Barolo has an aging period of 24 months with 25% new barriques and 75% used barriques while Langhe Nebbiolo ages 12 months in used barriques and then the wine is left to settle spontaneously at around 4°C for around 15 days then it is decanted 2 more times.

Towards the end of August, beginning of September the wine is bottled, all wines are unfiltered. Pruning
it is done manually, leaving 2 buds on the spur and 5-6 buds on the fruiting head.

The summer management of the vineyards is done entirely by hand, during this period 2 manual thinnings are carried out which allow for a production of approximately 500-700 grams per plant for Barolo and 800-1000 grams for Langhe Nebbiolo.

No herbicides are used in the management of the vineyard and weeds are cut. The harvest generally begins in the last ten days of September and is also done manually.
