Description
VIETTI BAROLO CEREQUIO is a distinguished red wine from the renowned Piedmont region of Italy. This Barolo exhibits a complex flavor profile featuring notes of cherry, rose, and earthy undertones, characteristic of its Nebbiolo grape origin. The wine's robust tannins and balanced acidity contribute to its age-worthiness and overall finesse.
This Barolo pairs wonderfully with rich dishes such as braised meats, truffles, and aged cheeses. It complements hearty pastas and grilled game, making it a versatile choice for elegant meals.
Expert Reviews
The 2021 Barolo Cerequio marries elegance and power in the way only Nebbiolo can. Bright acids and strong floral inflections run through this mid-weight yet dense, layered wine. All the elements are deftly woven together. This nuanced, finely sketched Barolo has always been compelling, as it is again today.
Choices, choices, choices... The Vietti 2021 Barolo Cerequio is another classic from this over-performing estate. This parcel was purchased in 2018 from the Chiarlo family (the Krause family acquired Vietti in 2016), and although the location is La Morra, the site behaves more like Sarmassa in Barolo, creating wines with a firm, tight entry and good structure. You could say that it has a nervous character now in its adolescence, and of course we expect it to smooth out and find harmony with time. Fruit was harvested on September 30th, and the wine sees 27 days of extended skin maceration. Compared to Brunate, which is always darker in character, the Cerequio is lighter and brighter with pretty primary fruit. Production is 4,890 bottles.
