ABOUT THIS WINE
Agriviticola Voerzio Martini is located in La Morra, within the core of the Barolo DOCG region in Piedmont, Italy. The estate represents a historical continuation of the Gianni Voerzio winery, transformed when twin siblings Mirko and Federica Martini joined forces with Gianni Voerzio in 2015. The La Serra single vineyard sits at 430 meters elevation with a south-west exposure and Sant'Agata Fossil Marls soil composed of clay, fine sand, and calcareous components. The 'Riserva 10 Anni' represents an extended cellar release, held back at the estate to reach optimal tertiary complexity before commercial availability.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes are harvested manually from vines planted in 1971, following rigorous green harvesting to control yields. Fermentation occurs with an emerged cap in stainless steel tanks for 14 to 20 days. All post-fermentation operations up through bottling are conducted under nitrogen gas protection to safeguard delicate colorants and primary aromas, significantly reducing total required sulfites. The wine is aged in 500-liter French oak tonneaux for 24 to 30 months, transferred to 25 HL French oak casks for 6 months, and then aged in bottle for ten years prior to release.
