Barolo Cerequio

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.

Tasting Notes

The aroma of this exceptional cru is an enchanting symphony for the senses. Its rich bouquet weaves together the seductive sweetness of ripe cherries and the delicate floral elegance of violets, inviting you to indulge. Beneath this vibrant display, a soft, balsamic warmth lingers, evoking memories of sun-kissed summer evenings. Subtle whispers of velvety vanilla, the intriguing allure of licorice, and the timeless elegance of dried rose petals add depth and mystery. Finally, a hint of smoky tar unfurls, completing the experience with a touch of dark, elegant complexity that lingers like an unforgettable love affair.

Food Pairing

Barolo makes an exquisite pairing with aged cheeses, red meats, hearty pasta dishes, truffles, game meats, and dark chocolate. It elevates the flavors of both the wine and the food for a truly refined experience.
