justerini & brooks tasting note

Cerequio has a more flattering and textural feel with velvety ripe tannins and fruits on the sweeter, redder spectrum after Brunate. Touches of cinnamon and anise with spearmint and crushed flowers give a pretty feel, though this belies how serious it really is. Only on the finish does one notice the firm linear feel to the acidity that seems a running theme in 2019. A marriage of sensual fruit and present structure. One of the historic single vineyards of La Morra, south-facing and planted at 300 metres above sea level on sandy clay soils. On average 300 cases per year are produced. Aged for two years in small, lightly toasted French oak barrels, no more than 20% new.

critic reviews

94/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2019 Barolo Cerequio offers the warm embrace that is so typical of this great La Morra site, but with the extra tannic kick and bright acids that are typical of Roberto Voerzio's wines today. Bright red cherry fruit, kirsch, mint, white pepper and a kick of orange peel fill out the layers nicely. The Cerequio is the softest of the Voerzio Barolos I tasted, but it has plenty of supporting structure.
