justerini & brooks tasting note

Bright but smooth with a fine tannic grip, this is a fabulous all-rounder that displays great class with its vivid red cherry and forest berry freshness, unctuous kirsch and ripe sloe flavours, and underlying salt and mineral components, finishing on very pretty wild strawberry characteristics. Along with Brunate, one of the great La Morra single vineyards, due south-facing but at a slightly lower altitude, similar to Rocche.

critic reviews

98/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

Voerzio's 2007 Barolo Cerequio is a wonderful counter to the virile, imposing Brunate. Sweet red fruit, flowers and menthol are woven into a nuanced, textured fabric of notable class and elegance. The Cerequio possesses dazzling inner perfume, silky tannins and phenomenal length. It is a stunning, beautifully articulated Barolo blessed with tons of intensity and compelling overall balance. A final burst of red berries informs the long, explosive, perfumed finish.
