Hic Wine - A fabulous array of carefully chosen wines

Roberto Voerzio

Piemonte

Roberto Voerzio forged away from the mainstream many years ago, to follow his unswerving and determined belief that great wine can only be grown in the vineyard. His estate covers about 10 hectares in total, situated in some of the very finest sites of La Morra, and is cultivated organically. Roberto tends each and every vine himself, adjusting every stage in the viticultural cycle to the individuality of each plant, severe green harvests and bunch trimming, tiny yields, vinification accompanied by the sounds of Led Zeppelin, micro vinification units and some of the best vineyard land in the world. This can only be Roberto Voerzio, the man who is now too maverick even for the ‘Langhe In’, his wines are now as cultish as the music played when making them, and rightly so. It is important to remember that for all the high-octane ideas and practices that hallmark Roberto’s wine making, his ethos is clear. He will tolerate nothing less than the absolute expression of the Nebbiolo from the particular vineyard in that year, and if the fruit isn’t good enough the wine doesn’t get made. In 2002 he made no Barolo at all, and it is this integrity that has led him to become one of the few icons of the winemaking world.

Planeta

Sicily

Since its inception in 1985 the Planeta winery has, in a relatively short space of time, established itself as one of the most dynamic and quality orientated wineries in the whole of Italy.

The fact that the estate is based in the south west corner of Sicily – an island which for so long has been a quality winemaking backwater – makes the achievement all the more remarkable. Run by cousins Fr
