Voerzio Martini is a young estate, which represents the continuation of the work of Gianni Voerzio, one of the pioneering modernists of the 1980s and 90s. Twins Mirko and Federica Martini purchased the winery from their cousin in 2015 and are producing head-turning wines which are fresh, fruit forward and modern. They employ a mix of modern and traditional approaches in the cellar, with 30 months ageing for the Barolo wines in a mix of traditional oak botti and some smaller barriques. The approach in the vineyard is very modern, with three green harvests across the growing season ensuring that the grapes picked at harvest have great concentration. The modern methods do not obscure the expression of place – these are wines that speak of their sites and show great drive and freshness on the finish.
