James Suckling explores the vineyards of top Barolo producer Roberto Voerzio in Piedmont
James Suckling visits with François Perrin, tries the exciting 2007 vintage and finds that the estate's older wines are holding up beautifully
Three were from 2006—La Basseta, La Creau, and Artigas—and there was a new wine from the estate called Els Pics from 2007. I was impressed, even a little dismayed, how concentrated these wines were. I have tasted many of these new-wave Spanish wines, and I do find them fascinating. I am not sure I can drink some of them though. They can just be too much.
I have been to many events with food, wine and music in my life. And, for the most part, they seem pretty much the same - wine, dinner and wine, and then wine and music at the end. Moreover, most of the events don’t seem to be choreographed, or put together properly.
