Damilano Barolo Cerequio

Wine Description
Cerequio is a stunning amphitheater of vines nestled on the Langhe terrace, where the sun kisses the slopes of La Morra. The land here, a harmonious blend of sand, loam, and clay, cradles the vines in a soil that whispers the secrets of time. At an elevation of 320 meters, the vineyard is bathed in the morning light, its eastward exposure ensuring that each grape ripens under the tender embrace of the sun. The wines born from this land are bold and captivating, with tannins that are as firm as they are graceful, offering a powerful and layered experience—a reflection of the land’s strength and beauty.
