Burzi was the very first winemaker we added to our catalogue, so we are very fond of him. His historic vineyards, inherited from his grandfather, are in the heart of La Morra, the most prestigious spot for winemaking in Piedmont. Burzi dedication to his vines knows no bounds, all seven hectares of Guyot vines are organically grown, pruned and harvested by hand.

In the cellar, twenty-thousand bottles are produced per year, following the most traditional method of Barolo vinification with extended macerations and ageing in large used Austrian casks. The result are wines of great intensity and personality, that speak of the bond between land and vine.Description text goes here
