Tasting Notes


Transparent, brilliant ruby red with garnet reflections.

On the nose deeply perfumed and complex. Notes of bright red cherries, forest fruits, rose petals, lavender, sweet spices, black tea, and crushed stones.

On the palate full-bodied yet weightless and graceful, a hallmark of La Morra. It features vibrant acidity and silken, fine-grained tannins. Very long and persistent on the finish.

Serving: Best served at 60ยฐFโ€“65ยฐF (16ยฐCโ€“18ยฐC). Keep it slightly cooler than typical room temperature to maintain focus, prevent the alcohol from feeling warm, and highlight the delicate floral and red-fruit aromatics typical of La Morra Nebbiolo. As a young Barolo from 80+ year-old vines, the tannins benefit significantly from 1 to 2 hour of oxygenation to soften, allowing notes of dried rose, cherry, and spice.

Food Pairings:ย Truffle-based dishes, roasted game (venison, pheasant), braised beef, or aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano.

Theย 2020 Burzi Barolo Cru Capalot โ€œVecchie Vitiโ€ย is a single-vineyard Barolo from La Morra, made from 80-year-old Nebbiolo vines on a south-facing slope. Bright red cherry, rose petals, lavender, black tea and crushed stones lead into a palate that is full-bodied yet graceful, with silky, fine-grained tannins and a very long finish. It earned 93 points from Vinous and is available for delivery across Florida.

Burzi is a small family estate in La Morra, run by brother and sister Alberto and Caterina Burzi. Capalot is their oldest and most prized vineyard. They farm organically, harvest by hand and select the grapes in the vineyard. The wine is made the traditional way, with 35 to 45 days of skin contact under a submerged cap. It then ages for 24 months in large, untoasted Austrian oak casks and a further 24 months in bottle before release. This keeps the wine pure, transparent and true to the vineyard.

Why buy it:ย this is a Barolo for people who want to taste what old vines can do. It has the depth and concentration of 80-year-old Nebbiolo, but it stays light on its feet, with the lifted, perfumed grace that La Morra is known for. It is approachable now with a little air, and it has the structure to age until 2045, so it works as a bottle to enjoy and one to keep.

When to open it:ย a milestone dinner, a truffle-season feast, or a table of roasted game. It is also a great match for braised beef, truffle dishes and aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Decant for 1-2 hours and serve at 60-65ยฐF (16-18ยฐC), slightly cooler than room temperature. It can be enjoyed now and will age beautifully until 2045.
