Burzi Barbera d’Alba Plaustra

Alberto Burzi founded his estate in La Morra in 2012 at the age of 26, later joined by his sister Caterina in 2018. They reclaimed historic family vineyards from their maternal grandparents, who had previously sold their grapes to a local cooperative. The 'Plaustra' cuvée comes from a tiny, northwest-facing parcel of less than 0.5 hectares in the Santa Maria hamlet of La Morra, within the Barolo zone. The name 'Plaustra' is derived from the Latin word for a farm cart, referencing the small valley situated directly behind the Burzi cellar.
