Burzi
Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
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.
