Burzi, led by the brother and sister team of Alberto & Caterina Burzi, are among the most impressive up-and-coming producers in Barolo. In 2012 Alberto began the ambitious project of taking over the family’s vineyards, many of which had been leased to some of the finest producers in the area like Roberto Voerzio & Silvio Grasso, and shifted focus to estate-bottling his own wines. His sister Caterina joined him in 2018, after returning home from University and a short stint working for Oddero. Today, they own 7 hectares of vineyards all in La Morra, split between the Rocchettevino, Rive, Roncaglie, La Serra, and Capalot crus.

Meticulous attention is given to the vineyards which are managed organically, trained by guyot, and manually pruned for low yields. Burzi’s aim is to produce small, optimally-ripe fruit for the harvest, which is done manually. New graftings are done by hand and Massale selection is used to preserve the uniqueness of the old vineyards, some of which are up to 90 years old. Since 2021, they’ve begun spontaneously fermenting their wines. The result is a range of wines which are elegant, concentrated, and maintain a territorial identity of the Langhe, La Morra, and Barolo.
