In the glass, it displays an intense dark ruby red colour. The aromatic profile is well defined by notes of blackberry and cherry jam, spicy accents and a distinct \u003cstrong\u003emineral trace\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it reveals a full and smooth structure, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esoft tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a lively acidity that gives energy to the sip, finishing with an elegant, complex and highly persistent aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red is born in La Morra, in the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe and the Barbera d’Alba area. The \u003cstrong\u003eCerreto vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e benefit from a west-east exposure that encourages consistent and even ripening. The high planting density, combined with a very \u003cstrong\u003elow yield per plant\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensures remarkable aromatic concentration and perfect varietal definition. These precise agronomic choices give the wine a clear \u003cstrong\u003emineral profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, able to elegantly balance the richness of ripe fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by the end of September and ferment in stainless steel tanks through the action of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing continues for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, partly new, to build deep structural complexity without masking the natural qualities of the grape variety. The wine then rests for a further eight months in steel to refine freshness and overall balance. Ideal if decanted, it pairs excellently with dishes based on beef, pork and flavourful \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamous for its Barolo, the Roberto Voerzio winery enhances the Langhe with the Barbera d’Alba DOC Il Cerreto. This label highlights a historic grape variety by excluding fertilisers and herbicides. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts preserves its identity. The high density (8,000 vines per hectare) and a maximum yield of one kilo per plant ensure great concentration. From grapes exposed east-west, 12,000 bottles of profound complexity are produced annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roberto Voerzio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46326945251499,"sku":"60773","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/voerzio-barbera-d-alba-il-cerreto-2023_60773_1_9aa5745c-23bf-4f2c-a0a1-6b7c0d1dd650.webp?v=1775236176","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-se\/products\/voerzio-barbera-dalba-il-cerreto-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
