More fruit forward than the pecchenino — 3 years ago
Molto molto buono 👏👏 — 4 years ago
Blackcurrant, blackberry. Touch of almond/marzipan. Overwhelming density and richness without excessive alcohol. Dolcetto raised to its highest expression. Only San Fereolo, Gilliardi and Pecchenino can consistently reach these heights. — 5 years ago
This bottle of 2010 Roberto Voerzio “Brunate” was generously provided by a friend who wanted to share this with me after service along with a few others from Tasting Group. Opened, splash decanted and consumed over three hours; served side-by-side with the 2010 Pecchenino “Le Coste”. The Voerzio “Brunate” was a relative hermit. Even after three hours in the decanter, it remained a bit of a wallflower while the Pecchenino was a whirling dervish on the dance floor. The classic structure of 2010 and the austerity of “Brunate” made for an impenetrable fortress, keeping the fruit under lock and key…and behind a moat and a drawbridge and stone walls with soldiers and trebuchets for that matter. Despite all of that, one does get the sense there is a deep core of high quality fruit recessed underneath the surface. It’s dark and mysterious…and simply hard to access at this moment in time. For what it’s worth, Voerzio’s holdings in “Brunate” come from the western portion of the MGA, on the La Morra side, right next to Oddero’s holdings. Frankly, this is going to need a long, long time in the cellar before it shows really well. If i had any in my cellar, I wouldn’t touch again until 2030. — 2 years ago
Dolcetto with some spine. Attack no impressive, but kicks into gear mid palette and finish. Impressive dolcetto. $35 — 4 years ago

Ottimo dopo 10 anni! — 3 years ago
This was a great find!  The Wine merchant where we bought it explained that this is technically a Borolo, but because of a labeling controversy, it is not labeled as such. but it sure has the Barolo profile! Fruit and spice and tobacco and cocoa! Highly recommend! — 4 years ago
