(from Les Perrières and Les Chaumes et Voierosse – the former has 50+ year old vines and the latter 30 to 35 year old vines)

Roberto Voerzio, Langhe Fontanazza Pissotta Merlot other_regions_italy it is certainly incredibly distinctLoads of black olive and blackberry character with hints of chili. Medium to full body, fresh herb and berry flavors. Slightly angular tannins and a flavorful finish. Just opening to be ready to drink now. An outstanding merlot from one of the great producers of Barolo. Drink or hold.
