Tasting Notes: The Burzi Barolo Capalot Vecchie Viti comes from the vineyard previously used by Roberto Voerzio. In Alberto Burzi's hands the wine is still packed with the power and grace but is lighter and softer on the palate, with bright notes of pomegrante and mint, tobacco and earth.
Estate History: Alberto Burzi comes from a family of winegrowers in La Morra that previously sold grapes and leased vineyards (most notably the old vines in Capalot leased to Roberto Voerzio). In 2012 Alberto, after graduating from the University of Turin with a degree in Viticulture and Oenology and spending time working at Cantina Communale in La Morra with Nicola of Trediberri, took back the vineyards. Along with his sister Caterina, having worked briefly at Oddero, they manage 7 hectares of vineyards producing about 25,000 bottles each year.
