Alberto Burzi
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.
A parcel of 90 year-old vines planted by Alberto’s grandfather, was leased for decades to Roberto Voerzio and Silvio Grasso and today produces Burzi’s single-cru Barolo Capalot: Alberto’s star wine which is already picking up a fiercely loyal collector following—we have open bets on him becoming the next ‘Barolo Boy’.
