Ruby red colour medium body with slight dry and a hint of fruit. Little dusty notes on the pallet. Easy drinker for an afternoon delight with some cheese and meat! — 4 years ago

In a beautiful spot right now. Superb nose, tannins resolved, wood not longer prominently present, still nice fruit and a long long finish. Everything is in balance and well integrated. Furthermore, still a long life ahead... — 6 years ago

A blend of 100% La Morra fruit, that emerges from "Roncaglie", "Rocchettevino" & "Rive". Now this is La Morra!! - sais my nose and palate: in the nose fresh roses and fine strawberry/rasperry flavors. The classico is showing much brighter than the "Capalot", both in the color and in it's flavors: fresh cut flowers/roses, red stone fruits.. showing a lot of elegance and sexyness - let me call it the rather female opposite of the 100% "Capalot". What I find again, in both wines, is an amazing purity and clearness of the character. The tannins here show no harshness either, for a young Barolo. this - imho - permits a particular, fantastic showing of the primary La Morra fruit.

Producer info: Alberto Burzi is a quite young and "new" winemaker in La Morra and the Barolo area. 2013 is his second vintage. He makes two Baroli ("Capalot - Vecchie Viti" and a "base" one with fruit from "Rive", "Roncaglie" and "Rocchettevino", all La Morra. He also has a plot in "La Serra" which is supposed to be put in the Barolo "base" in the future; furthermore he makes a Langhe Nebbiolo "Runcaja" and and a Barbera d'Alba" Plaustra"). Burzi has a total of 7ha of land; 5ha are for Nebbiolo/Barolo. Ca. 20'000 bottles produced, of which 8'000 Barolo. — 7 years ago

Impressed with the complexity of this. The aromas began as peach, then as I sipped and swished flavored morphed from pear to lime with a sharp bit of effervescence, and finally washing out into some subtle minerality on the finish... Furthermore, it changed and disguised itself into other hints notes and barnacles as I continued to drink it. (Apple, granite to name some.) — 9 years ago

Pretty impressed with the blackberry coffee balance. Seems like a hard to duality pull off. Furthermore, I purchased this from TARGET because I am an AMERICAN. — 10 years ago

This vineyard can do no wrong in whomever's hands the fruit is bestowed. Day 1- Aromatic rock star, with a meek obtuse mouth. Day 2- mouth caught up. Dark, lingering, complex. — 11 years ago

Complements Argentinian cuisine very well. Light body with perfect acidity for a wine that is great with the food and to continue afterwards through the night. — 6 years ago

Corked! Why do I love? B/c second bottle was racy and lean with spicy fruit on the nose, cherries on the palate and a long finish. Furthermore, buying wines from stand up guys like @Lyle Fass who credit corked bottles is a refreshing change. Thanks for doing right and keep bringing out gems like this! — 10 years ago

Long mazeration (30-50 days) & vinification in 30hl barrels (austrian wood). The 2013 "Capalot - Vecchie Viti" seems pretty atypical compared with "classic" La Morra Baroli; I would have placed it either in Monforte or Novello. It comes rather earthy, balsamic and with a beautiful deep minerality. Dark fruit (cherry), iron, chalk, and dark-red roses, that give the wine still a lovely feminine touch. The tannins are very present, but silky and nobili. The vinification in big barrels is a terrific idea in order not to cover the very giving character of the fruit/flavors provided by the 'vecchie viti' in Burzi's "Capalot" vineyard.. In short I say: Kudos to Burzi! This is a stunner - and I can't wait too see this juice age and try it again with like age 10.

natural wine full of character from one of the pioneers of the scene! the number II is by far my favourite of the three ex veros, all of them a similar cuvée of chardonnay and sauvignon blanc from the same hillside. the II features a perfect mix of tension, complexity, development and seriousness.
using the metaphor of a human face it'd be an old soul, calm and deep but with witty eyes and of good humour.

the 2008 is my personal darling vintage, needs to be aerated, showing nuts, blossoms and crushed stones in a salty finish, but remember: werlitsch's wines always are more than the sum of its parts. beautiful balance and much wine with only 12.5% alc.

furthermore an excellent value for it's reasonable price, easy food pairing (doesn't act up), gathering high attraction both of absolute newbies to wine as well as winefreaks with willingness to contemplate. . . — 10 years ago

Yes! Mmmmm. Dessert wine. Brown sugar. "Late harvest pinot". Ok I can hang with that. Served with flourless chocolate cake? I think so. Very port like. — 11 years ago
