About this Item

Barbera d'Alba 2010
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
From Roberto Voerzio's La Morra estate, the Barbera d'Alba is sourced from the Cerreto vineyard and produced with the same precision and radically low yields that define the entire Voerzio range. The 2010, from one of the finest recent Piedmont vintages, shows fabulous energy, focus and the glossy, silky character that sets it apart from its appellation peers. Antonio Galloni from Vinous gave it a rating of 91.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

“Another fabulous entry-level offering, the 2010 Barbera d'Alba Cerreto possesses remarkable energy, focus and pure finesse. The aromas and flavors are beautifully delineated. I very much like the sense of vibrancy, so typical of the year, here. Plums, black cherries and spices wrap around the finish.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100 (May 2013)
