Barolo Cerequio DOCG 2018

Roberto Voerzio | Piedmont
Az. Agr. Roberto Voerzio | Loc. Cerreto, 7 | IT 12064 La Morra

Barolo Cerequio unfolds its cornucopia of cherries, ripe red berries, violets, leather and tar in the glass only after many minutes. Firm and punchy on the palate - shows an impressive and solid construction, yet the wine remains delicate, mineral and finesse-rich all the time. It is perhaps the most balanced of Roberto Voerzio's top tier of wines, and even though it seems quite approachable when young, it too will only reveal its true potential and class in many years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Roberto Voerzio manages the extremes of Cerequio - a southern site in the lower part and two more east-facing sites in the upper part of the MGA. This combination gives the 2018 a special vivacity - there is no Granatton here. The aroma is soapy, with hints of cinnamon, black pepper and plenty of pencil lead. That graphite note shows on the palate too, along with ripe, creamy tannins, moderate but good acidity and a refreshing, polished finish. It's still marked by the oak, but otherwise ready to drink." Decanter

"One of the bottles that embody the winery and, in general, the Langhe area, a monument to the La Morra area from a mythological Cru. Great cleanliness in a wine that shows a nose of redcurrants, with hints of peony, laurel and star anise. The mouthfeel is dense, elegant and exciting, with spicy tannins and great persistence." Luca Gardini

"A level of ripeness and structure not found in 2018 Barolos, with aromas and flavours of ripe strawberries, cedar and fresh earth. Full and expansive but fine tannins and a fresh finish give this young red a seductive sensibility. Very, very long. Best after 2026." James Suckling
