Barolo, Cerequio, 2018

Ripe, sweet strawberry red fruits, fuller more textured and well-structured but floral too, Cerequio conveys a sense of power combined with fresh elegance in 2018, offering up subsidiary notes of spearmint, balsamic and dark cherry on the finish. 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 a mix of big and small barrels, light toast, French oak (15, 20, 30 and 35 HL sizes for the big barrels.)
