Vintage Character Barolo DOCG 2019 Voerzio Martini Monvigliero comes from the celebrated Monvigliero MGA in Verduno, a site widely prized for Nebbiolo of uncommon fragrance and finesse. The 2019 vintage is regarded as a strong one in Barolo: a long growing season and balanced late-season conditions helped preserve aromatic lift while allowing tannins to ripen evenly. In this part of the appellation, calcareous marl soils and the cooler, airy character of Verduno favor a more perfumed, filigreed expression of Barolo, where structure is carried by precision rather than sheer weight.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine opens with classic Nebbiolo notes of rose petal, sour cherry, wild strawberry and orange peel, followed by hints of white pepper, licorice and sweet spice. On the palate it is full-bodied yet graceful, with vivid acidity, finely etched tannins and a long, savory finish that layers red fruit, dried herbs and mineral nuance. Its poised, aromatic profile makes it especially compelling with tajarin with butter and sage, roast veal, or duck breast with cherry sauce.
Winery Background Voerzio Martini was founded through the partnership of Gianni Voerzio and the Martini family, with Mirko Martini shaping the cellar style around precision, low yields and transparent cru expression. Based in the Barolo zone, the estate is known for high-density planting, careful canopy management and hand-harvesting to bring each site to full phenolic balance. In the cellar, the aim is to preserve Nebbiolo’s perfume and detail while supporting longevity through measured élevage in oak, producing small-volume Barolos that combine modern clarity with deep respect for traditional terroir identity.
