About the Event
About the Winery:
Young, dynamic Alberto Burzi took over his family’s vines in La Morra in 2012, after decades of renting them to some very prominent Barolo producers. His sister Caterina soon joined, and the two have now established themselves as one of the more exciting young producers in Piemonte. They are traditionalists at heart, crafting wonderfully aromatic wines from old vines in La Morra, but they are also experimenting with viticultural techniques to continue crafting naturally fresh, vibrant wines even as temperatures increase in Barolo. Their prized vineyards are Capalot, a cru where they hold a parcel of very old vines that yields a very special Barolo, and La Serra, which gives profoundly aromatic, elegant Barolo.
