Roberto Voerzio describes 2008 as a year that was cold from start to finish

Only the return of warmer weather at the start of September imbued the vintage with a freshness of great Chardonnay in tune with the subtly restrained power of Pinot Noir and a soupçon of rounded Meunier – that final little touch making the wine more pleasurable to drink soon

the Les Pavots vineyard is located in the oldest of the estate-owned sites

I very much like the sense of energy here

Ceretto (Bricco Asili), Barbaresco Asili other_regions_italy Roberto Voerzio describes 2008 asCherry and licorice notes play off the dense, dusty tannins in this red. Shows fine tension between the elements, ending with a long aftertaste of sweet fruit and savory flavors. Best from 2015 through 2024. 420 cases made. BS
