Alberto Burzi brings an artisanal, minimal-intervention approach to the rolling hills of La Morra. Dedicated to expressing Nebbiolo's natural fruit vibrancy, Alberto crafts wines that combine immediate charm with authentic Piedmontese terroir.

Langhe Nebbiolo "Runcaja" 2023 is sourced from the Runcaja vineyard in La Morra, planted on sandy-calcareous soils that yield an aromatic and supple expression of Nebbiolo. Macerated gently and aged 12–18 months in large neutral Slavonian oak casks and stainless steel, it offers Barolo-like character in an accessible, early-drinking format.

Tasting Profile: Translucent ruby red. Inviting aromas of fresh red raspberry, pomegranate, violets, crushed cranberry, and a hint of white pepper. Medium-bodied and supple, with silky tannins, crisp acidity, and a clean, refreshing mineral finish.

Serve at 15–17°C (slightly cool). Pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled poultry, vitello tonnato, pasta with meat ragù, or pizza. Enjoy now and over the next 5–8 years.

Alberto & Caterina Burzi, La Morra

Alberto Burzi's passion for agriculture was ignited by his grandparents, inspiring him to study oenology and take over the family vineyards in 2011. Today, alongside his sister Caterina, the dynamic duo cultivates several prime Barolo parcels, including the esteemed 90-year-old Capalot, employing meticulous viticultural techniques like 'tressage' and cover cropping to produce small, optimally ripe berries. Each wine is refined in Stockinger casks, specially customized for Alberto using steam instead of toast, resulting in wines that boast compelling concentration and an almost ethereal weightlessness. Their unwavering commitment to quality and tradition continues to elevate the family's legacy in the wine world.
