Diego Morra

Diego Morra is a small family producer in Verduno, one of the quieter communes in the Barolo zone, though its vineyards include some genuinely fine sites. Their wines span from an approachable Langhe Nebbiolo and the rare, light-footed Verduno Pelaverga through to single-vineyard Barolos from historic crus including Monvigliero and Zinzasco.

The style is classic rather than modern: these wines take their time to open up and they reward cellaring. For anyone exploring Barolo beyond the main communes, Verduno and Diego Morra are worth knowing.
