Cantina Roberto Voerzio Sold?

Rumors flying all over Piedmont. Maybe a large corporation?

Did you have signals from private sources Ken? Any sign in the public space yet?

The only thing of possible relevance that I could see published on the net within the last few days is the pretty good summary of the general trends at the moment that I link to below and where it is mentioned in passing that Voerzio has lost his lease for Capalot. But you are evidently talking about something bigger than that.

Only rumors. Only private sources. Only denials from Roberto.

OK. Thanks! Please keep us posted if you pick up any further news.

Allthough the wines have been labelled / stigmatized here as modern, they are not undrinkable. Far from
Interesting news. Who is next?

When I mentioned the possibility of “a large corporation” to Bill Klapp, he suggested it might the Coca Cola Corp, “since he uses more or less the same formula”.

Klapp is a gem.

Pernod Ricard is the rumor here…

Source not entirely reliable though…

Ha thats funny.
Miss him here
I had the 2012 Rocche dell’Annunziata and it was better than I thoght it could possible be. Maybe expectations were pretty low

Walter Speller, who was my original source for this story, now says “all-clear for Roberto Voerzio: rumours of sale to Pernod-Ricard turn out to be not true”.

Same. I expected something much different.

Well, at least the rumor was a nice excuse to post Bill K’s quip.

Or as someone said on another site, “the deal fell through”.
