Dievoles three new single-vineyard wines are the result of an effort to highlight the identity characteristics of particularly suitable vineyards in Chianti Classico, leading to ever more precise expressions of Sangiovese. This gift box of 6 contains 2 bottles of each of the three single vineyards.

2 bottles à 0,75l | "Petrignano" Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)

Petrignano is the name of a characteristic area with a soil rich in minerals and stones. At an altitude of about 330 metres, rocks protrude from the ground, typical of the geological formation of Monte Morello. The abundance of stones, the depth of the roots and the low growth of the vines result in an expressive and lush wine from this characteristic and authentic cru site. Intense ruby red. Very appealing bouquet dominated by ripe fruit, cherry and blackberry aromas. Juicy, full and rich on the palate, with blackberry and ripe fruit flavours. Warm and velvety finish with fine and soft tannins, very accentuated interwoven with the fine acidity framework. SUPERIORE.DE

2 bottles à 0,75l | "Casanova" Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)

The Casanova grapes come from a vineyard at an altitude of about 400 metres, with an ideal south-west to south-east exposure and consisting mainly of sandstone rocks Macigno del Chianti. The result is a Chianti Classico that is very immediate and direct, with a beautiful acidity to boot. It has the elegance and freshness and the bright, radiant fruit of Chianti Classico "as it used to be". Bright, luminous ruby red. On the nose, classic aromas of the grape variety with notes of small red fruits such as cherries and sour cherries alternating with spicy notes. On the palate it is soft, carried by a dense tannin structure and a spicy, velvety finish. SUPERIORE.DE

2 bottles à 0,75l | "Catignano" Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)

Catignano is a plateau at 370 metres above sea level, with vineyards of different ages and a large proportion of Alberese. The exposure is westerly and south-easterly, which means plenty of sun during the day, but also cold temperatures at night, with a good temperature range that favours the aromatic development of the grapes. On the nose, notes of red fruits, then a tertiary complexity of tobacco leather, graphite and liquorice. Warm and juicy on the palate, with notes of ripe red fruits. A juicy, sun-drenched cru.

Historically, the vineyards of Castello di Fonterutoli are located in the areas of three neighbouring municipalities of Chianti Classico: Castellina in Chianti, Castelnuovo Berardenga and Radda in Chianti. Since the 2017 vintage, the Mazzei family has, for the first time, vinified all three large vineyards separately as Chianti Classico Gran Selezione to reflect the diversity of the terroir: Castello di Fonterutoli, Vicoregio 36 and Badiola.

We are pleased to offer you all three 2019 Cru from three terroirs from three communes in a beautiful decorative box!

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Castello Fonterutoli" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2019

Castello di Fonterutoli comes from 11 different plots at an altitude of 420-510m around the hamlet of Fonterutoli in Castellina in Chianti. It is quasi the "château" and at the same time the oldest cru of the winery and was first produced in 1995 as the predecessor of today's Gran Selezione. Rich colour and a clear scent of blackberries, cherries, violets and flowers, plus some nougat. This full-bodied Castello Fonterutoli impresses with its beguiling extract sweetness and polished tannin. The intense and concentrated taste enchants the senses. The long final is full of elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, radiant ruby red. Somewhat restrained on the nose, gentle hints of orange zest and raspberries. On the palate juicy and with a red berry fruit core, shows itself elegant and drinky, currently still very young, in the finish delicate pressure with a lot of finesse, salty." Falstaff

"A top Chianti Classico that smells of dark cherries, rose petals and cedar on the nose and palate. Medium to full-bodied and very structured with lots of tannins. Needs time to mellow. Taste after 2024." James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Badiòla" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2019

Badiòla is the historic name of a vineyard in the municipality of Radda, whose grapes are vinified separately for the first time by the Mazzei family as Gran Selezione with the 2017 vintage. Bright ruby, a restrained but clear nose of wild berries, blue flowers, undergrowth, and hints of dark pepper. On the palate, Badiòla is masterfully balanced, almost weightless. The very well integrated tannin makes it seem supple from the first to the last glass and impresses with a long finish - its elegance is great! SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium ruby red with orange reflections. The most compact of the winery's three Gran Selezioni. Elegant, soft fruit that is less baroque than elegant. Long, tangy finish of raspberries and cherries with supple but long tannins." Jancis Robinson

"A juicy and ripe wine with freshness and brightness for the Radda zone in Chianti Classico. Medium-bodied. Spicy. Orange peel." James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Vicoregio 36" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2019

Vicoregio 36 is the successor to the ambitious Mix 36 and, as of 2017, a true Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. As a result of 50 years of research, 36 biotypes of the Sangiovese grape were planted on a sunny plateau near Castelnuova Berardenga, from which this extremely interesting and distinctive wine was created a few years ago. The overall impression is very balanced and straightforward with hints of red cherries, spices, dried blueberries and tobacco. It is the warmest and most balanced of the three Gran Selezione wines. Its intensity, richness of colour and precise fruit instantly captivate the Sangiovese lover. SUPERIORE.DE

"Raspberry-scented seducer with floral and herbal notes; flattering on the palate, silky tannin embedded in fine acidity, finishes long and fresh. Pleases with its elegance and no-frills style. Among the best cuts of Viennese beef cuisine." Vinum

"A very straightforward and fine Chianti Classico with crisp cherry fruit and a hint of minerals. Medium body. Crisp and lively finish. Closed and dense on the mid palate." James Suckling

For more than thirty years, Vie di Romans has been vinifying only its own grapes in order to respect and express the respective vineyards of origin. The crus "Piere", "Vieris", "Vie di Romans", "Ciampagnis", "Dessimis" and others embody the sensory quintessence of their grapes of origin, each with its own recognisable and enduring historical character.

With the ambitious project "I Climat" (traditional Burgundian term), Gianfranco Gallo wants to present the terroir expression of his wines in the truest and most authentic way. Each individual terroir offers a certain variability: it is up to the winemaker to decide whether to capture its unique essence or to use it in a more general way.

At Vie di Romans, the Chardonnay variety was chosen because it has an innate, genetic ability to connect in a very noticeable way with the different soil-climate complexes in which it grows. The six different Climat wines come from specific Chardonnay parcels within the two crus vineyards, Vie di Romans and Ciampagnis, and contain the names or name components of the families who farmed these vineyards in the distant past - Nuts, Goss, Curie, Glesie, Boghis and Cortesar. In the past, local properties were very parcelled out and, unlike today, were farmed by the same family or owner for generations.

It is important to mention that uniform viticulture and vinification practices were used in the vinification of all six site Chardonnays, so that no external factor could compromise the unique and natural expression. Each vintage (since the beginning of 2015) is the result of 18 months of "elevage sur lie" followed by two years of bottle ageing. The extended maturation period was deliberately chosen to allow the wine to develop the authentic sensory expression that a specific soil-climate unit is capable of producing.

Gianfranco Gallo is convinced that the true identity of a wine and the terroir that produces it only emerges through longevity, because it is only through this process that the wine discovers its inner balance, stability and unmistakable identity. SUPERIORE.DE

The strictly limited wooden box of 6 contains the following wines:

Rare horizontal in a gift box of 3 - an exclusive and strictly limited selection of the crus "Vigna L'Apparita", "Vigneto La Casuccia" and "Vigneto Bellavista" of the 2011 vintage.

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Vigna L'Apparita" Merlot Toscana IGT 2011 in gift box

Elegant Merlot from high altitude vineyards, whose further development in the bottle always fascinates. Very inviting bouquet, ripe berry note, elderberry and coffee. Extremely fine and structured on the palate, dense, polished tannins, finishes very long and relaxed. SUPERIORE.DE

"Compared to 2010, the 2011 L'Apparita (100% Merlot) is a completely different wine. It is impossible to imagine how Castello di Ama could improve on the absolutely divine and delicious 2010, but I liked the 2011 even better. Again, I just have a feeling that this winery, with its vineyards perched at over 500 metres, does best with warm vintages like this. Those who love Castello di Ama wines will have to wait for the 2013 vintage. This is a beautiful wine that sings with a loud and graceful voice. The cherry-like softness of the Merlot has been brought back to a perfect point. The wine offers layers of richness and suppleness. The effect is layered, complex and utterly captivating. This is an outstanding wine." Wine Advocate

"A deep and beautiful red with the character of ripe berries, plums and orange peel. Almost exotic in style. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a caressing texture. Lasts for minutes. So nice now, but 2018 will be even better. The best L'Apparita ever?" James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Vigneto La Casuccia" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2011 in gift box

Chianti Classico La Casuccia from the single vineyard of the same name with Gran Selezione status combines in its typical way exemplary excellent structure with the highest elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is opulent and lush with thick lines of dark fruits and spices characterising the bouquet. This wine is not only bold and powerful, but also offers excellent complexity with layers of black truffle, grilled herbs and cherry cola giving it vertical lift." Wine Advocate

"A wine of pure femininity and grace, the 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto La Casuccia is wonderfully fleshy and radiant in the glass. Rose petals, sweet red cherries, tobacco, mint and spices meld together as this effortlessly smooth wine demonstrates its undeniably appealing personality. Sweet, silky tannins wrap around a very expressive finish laced with stunning flavours. The 2011 is firing on all cylinders today. VINOUS

"Amazing aromas of crushed dark fruits with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Also dried flowers and violets, plus tanned leather. Full body, ultra-fine yet dense tannins and a finish that lasts minutes. Stunning texture. One of the best Chianti Classicos ever made." James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Vigneto Bellavista" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2011 in gift box

The 2011 edition of the Gran Selezione from the Bellavista single vineyard is rich and dark with aromas of wild cherry, smoke, liquorice, menthol and tobacco. Extremely attractive and rich on the palate, firm tannins form the backbone of this virile, potent wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista opens with dark concentration, bold intensity and an immediate delivery of ripe fruit flavours. Stylistically, this Grand Selezione is extracted from a single vineyard, muscular and extremely fruit-driven. The heat of the 2011 vintage comes through loud and clear. Pleasingly, the mouthfeel is tighter and more focused with dusty minerality on the tannins and long persistence." Wine Advocate

"The 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Bellavista from Ama shows the darker, brooding style of Ama's Sangiovese. Graphite, smoke, tar, liquorice, incense and cloves envelop a core of dark fruit. The 2011 is a wine with gravitas and vertical structure that will do well in the cellar for several decades. For the vintage, however, it is an unusually austere wine. harvestwill have to be patient to experience Bellavista at its best. Still, I can't help but notice how much the 2011 has grown in bottle over the past year. VINOUS

Unique horizontal in exclusive 9 original wooden box - a limited edition of only a few 100 copies of all produced single-vineyard Riserve of the excellent Piemontese vintage 2017. SUPERIORE.DE

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Rio Sordo Riserva DOCG 2017

"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo has a mineral character and a supple, firm approach that gives this wine its particular identity. The wine is polished, almost glossy in texture with blackcurrant, plum and wild rose and the tannins are grippy, although overall the Rio Sordo has a lean to medium density." Wine Advocate

"It offers depth and a velvety texture that perfectly matches the rich fruit flavours of cherry and raspberry. Underlined by mineral and spicy notes, this wine is harmonious and long with a mineral aftertaste. It is approachable now but has good structure and will age beautifully." Wine Spectator

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Muncagota Riserva DOCG 2017

"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota plays some of its best cards in terms of texture, offering silky tannins, firmness and a long-lasting veil of fruit aromas. Cassis, wild cherry, camphor ash, spices and iron ore are the aromatic protagonists. This wine is lean and compact, but very linear and concentrated." Wine Advocate

"Presents a bright, pure expression of cherry, strawberry, rose and grass aromas and flavours, underlined by a mineral vein, with tannins flexing their muscles on the long finish. Intense but balanced, with a tension that shows promise for future development." Wine Spectator

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Pora Riserva DOCG 2017

"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is usually the first wine I taste each year when I review this series of Riservas from Produttori del Barbaresco. This is because it is usually the most delicate and the intensity of each subsequent bottle increases after this wine. But these schemes are a little harder to align in a hot and dry vintage like this, which consistently produced richer and juicier fruit. The Pora smells of red and purple fruits with slightly more blackberries and plums compared to previous editions. The tannin strength of the wine is also more pronounced. Pora is working very well in 2017." Wine Advocate

"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pora is rich, creamy and layered, with a little more generosity than is usually the case. Sweet red cherry, red plum, spice and rose petal are amplified in a bright, open-knit Barbaresco that will drink well in a few years." Vinous

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Ovello Riserva DOCG 2017

"One of the bigger productions in the portfolio of Produttori del Barbaresco is the 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello. All Riservas of this vintage are characterised by particularly lush and powerful aromas, and this bottle is a prime example. Cassis, wild cherry, tobacco, rusty nails and liquorice provide intensity. The wine is rejuvenated and silky in texture, but it also offers a good amount of power to carry it through the ageing process." Wine Advocate

"The Barbaresco Riserva Ovello 2017 is an intoxicating, explosive wine. I don't think I have ever tasted an Ovello from the Produttori with so much power. The strong mineral and saline accents typical of this site are present, but they are outweighed pound for pound by a remarkable richness and intensity of fruit in the mid-palate. The 2017 is a brooding powerhouse that needs time to unwind." Vinous

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Rabajà Riserva DOCG 2017

"The Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is another spectacular release from this cooperative winery, which hits the bull's eye with each new release. This impressive track record includes this wine, which is characterised by extreme concentration, depth and integrity. The bouquet is very clear, with dark cherry, tart plum, spice and blood orange, but it is also complex and fluid. With each swirl of the glass, it opens up new perspectives. The Rabajà from a hot vintage is soft, powerful and balanced. I would bet on a long ageing of this bottle." Wine Advocate

"Lots of white truffle, ripe strawberry and shellstone character. Full-bodied with a focused and on-point palate with flavours that resemble aromas. The tannins are polished and beautiful. A very elegant and refined Rabaja. To be drunk from 2025." James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Montestefano Riserva DOCG 2017

"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is darkly concentrated and among the richest wines in this series of single-vineyard Riservas. Montestefano is angular, structured and powerful with aromas of dark fruits, dried blackberries, toasted almonds and smoked tobacco. With this vintage, you get an age-worthy wine that offers power and strength over the medium term, but becomes silkier and leaner with time. Dusty tannins and gravel show on the long finish." Wine Advocate

"The Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano 2017 is a powerful, tasty wine. Today the fruit is very much in the background. The Montestefano is a brooding, backward Barbaresco that clearly needs time, it is a sombre, imposing Barbaresco. Dark plum, earthiness, clove, menthol and liquorice lend remarkable gravitas to the finish. The Montestefano has a lot of breadth and resonance." Vinous

Vinous: 93+ points

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Pajè Riserva DOCG 2017

"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is impressive in every way, but especially in terms of aromas. There is so much brightness here with red and purple fruits, rust and a dark note of cloves or exotic spices. No element is out of place, but all together help build the intensity of this balanced wine. It shows a soft, velvety texture, and perhaps there is a little more ripeness overall in this warm vintage." Wine Advocate

"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is a good choice for harvestwho like wines with freshness, drive and energy. Dark fruits, menthol, spices, pine and crushed rock are beautifully brought out. This is a particularly edgy wine in the 2017 Riserva range, and I really like the balance of richness and vibrancy. In a word, classic." Vinous

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Asili Riserva DOCG 2017

"The Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Asili features a very straightforward and direct approach with wild rose, cassis and lots of minerality or gravel. On the palate, the wine is taut and fresh, with a medium-bodied texture and lots of depth and persistence. I love those bright nuances reminiscent of rose petals on the finish of this wine, and the tannins are firm and silky. This bottle has a unique identity in this group of Riserva wines." Wine Advocate

"A clear and transparent Asili with aromas of flowers, sage, gravel, mushrooms and berries leading to a full body with round tannins that are a little aggressive but in a good way. Crisp and fresh on the finish. Undertones of citrus. Piquant." James Suckling

James Suckling: 96 points

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barbaresco Montefico Riserva DOCG 2017

"The Produttori del Barbaresco 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is particularly broad and dense in texture. It feels generous to the senses and coats the palate with a beautiful blend of firm tannins and soft fruit fibres. These elements help to add both volume and persistence to this classic wine. It's a little dry on the finish and you can also taste minerals and stones." Wine Advocate

"The 2017 Barbaresco Montefico is one of the outstanding wines in this range. It shows the penetrating tannins typical of this site and yet has more than enough fruit to balance those tannins, certainly more than wines like Rabajà. This exposed site benefits from cooling winds from the north, which was clearly an advantage in 2017. Even in the early stages, the balance here is great. In 2017, Montefico is one of the standout wines in the range." Vinous

An absolute rarity is Vietti's 6-bottle wooden box with one bottle each of the great Barolo Cru of the top vintage 2018 - an almost magical collection of strictly limited pearls.

"A symbolic dance between ever-changing sensory impressions and nuances, following an expressive freedom that only the best wines can and do transform into pure pleasure. This is what 'Let's dance' means to us."Elena und Luca Currado Vietti

Each high-quality produced wooden box of 6 contains:

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barolo Rocche di Castiglione DOCG 2018

The supremely potent Rocche di Castiglione is often referred to as the first "official" cru in the history of Langa (along with Bussia di Prunotto, both of which were released with the 1961 vintage). It confirms itself once again as the great classic of the house with the 2018 edition. Dark fruits, pressed lilac, blood orange, powdered liquorice, balsamic herbs, spices, iron ore and aniseed fit together perfectly like pieces of a puzzle. Then lush and racy on the palate, with silky tannins and a great depth and resonance that will continue to develop with time. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is one of my favourite wines from Castiglione Falletto. The Vietti 2018 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione is beautifully etched and sharp with a particularly delineated quality that is unusual in this vintage. The fruit comes from a small parcel of 8,000 square metres and, like the other wines in this Cru series from Vietti, it is aged for two years in oak barrels. The texture of the wine is beautifully soft and polished thanks to the carefully integrated tannins. Only 3,693 bottles were produced." Wine Advocate

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barolo Lazzarito DOCG 2018

"An expression of elegance in Serralunga", Luca Currado underlines at the tasting of Lazzarito, and we already agree with him on the nose. Gravel, pebbles, red fruits, rose petals, lavender and sage permeate this plastic and very lively Serralunga Barolo. Baroli from Serralunga d'Alba are often in a category of their own thanks to their richness and sheer abundance of fruit. The balsamic symphony opens the doors to a sip that is undoubtedly powerful, but at the same time refreshing and rich in vitamins. With added aeration, Lazzarito delivers mint and balsamic herbs. Lazzarito sets the pace and never loses its rhythm, the great texture of the tannins flanks this palate spectacle in an ideal way and we will discover much more about this great Barolo in the years to come. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Barolo Lazzarito represents Vietti's interpretation of Serralunga d'Alba, the village often associated with the appellation's most powerful wines. The Lazzarito completes its second fermentation in barrique over three months and is then transferred to large oak bottles where it ages for a further two years. With around 8,000 bottles produced in this smaller vintage, the wine is very indicative of its geographical origin with dense black fruit, rusty nail, blood orange and earth. Compared to the other wines in this series, this wine offers more persistent tannins. It's still a little salty and spicy now, but it lends itself well to long ageing." Wine Advocate

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barolo Brunate DOCG 2018

Luca Currado cultivates the Brunate Cru on the La Morra side of the vineyard (opposite the Barolo side) and this wine contains fruit from new plots. It convinces with an impressive aroma of red berries, cherries, wild herbs, mint, minerals and rose petals, rounded off by a hint of blood orange. On the palate we find a terrific softness and textural silkiness, this continues with hints of mint, liquorice and camphor ash for many minutes. Polished tannins round off this masterpiece into an extremely elegant Brunate. SUPERIORE.DE

"The medium-bodied Barolo Brunate 2018 with fruit from La Morra shows a beautiful softness and a delicate side with dried roses, lilac and blue flowers. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrique and is later aged in large oak barrels. This double oak treatment is part of Vietti's secret recipe to create the silky tannins and fine texture you taste here. The wine, of which 4,493 bottles will be produced, features a distinctive aromatic final reminiscent of liquorice and balsamic herbs." Wine Advocate

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barolo Ravera DOCG 2018

Vietti's Ravera is one of the great stars of Piedmont in its precision and structure. It uses fruit from Novello, from a site that looks out over the castle of the same name on the hill in the distance. This wine offers an impeccable balance between nose and mouth, showing immense purity and power in one package. Rose petals, chalk, pepper and a hint of pomegranate make this Barolo one of the most sought-after in the appellation every year. With some ageing, the powerful tannins give way to an elegant impression that does not deviate one millimetre from the coveted style of this great vineyard. A monument of Barolo, which only a few other winemakers in Piedmont besides Vietti and also Giacosa bottle with such consistency! SUPERIORE.DE

"Vietti is one of the few wineries to have brought Novello's Ravera MGA to its current popularity. Their 2018 Barolo Ravera has a smoky personality with gravel and pencil traces. There are lots of dark fruits in the background, especially ripe cherries and blackberries, and the wine is powerful and firm in terms of its structure and tannins. The Ravera is a wine of enormous length and a finely tuned texture. Exactly 7,560 bottles were produced." Wine Advocate

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barolo Monvigliero DOCG 2018

The second novelty of the 2018 vintage is Vietti's Barolo Monvigliero. The special feature: Approx. 60% of the grapes are not destemmed, which enhances the aromatic nuances of the wine. Youthful notes of raspberry and blueberry are flanked by black pepper, gentian, porcelain and black olives. The palate has a beguilingly soft texture, fine and creamy, underpinned by wonderful laurel and floral aromas. Monvigliero impresses with its purity, its serenity and its class. Excellent. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's a very special treat from Verduno and one of the most exciting new releases we'll see from Italy this year. Vietti's 2018 Barolo Monvigliero is made for the first time with 60% whole grapes, following a time-honoured local tradition. The soils of Monvigliero are loose and light, producing dense but full-bodied wines. The use of whole grapes gives the wine more texture, intensity and tannins. With aromas of wild berries, roses, dried mint and white liquorice, and very fine and soft tannins, this wine is part of a precious production of 3,207 bottles." Wine Advocate

1 bottle à 0,75l | Barolo Cerequio DOCG 2018

Vintage 2018 marks Vietti's exciting Barolo debut from one of Piedmont's most famous vineyards, characterised by exuberant aromas and bright, red-tinged fruit. The bouquet is enormously opulent with ripe fruit aromas ranging from wild cherry to red currant. This is joined by original tones of jam, plum and a hint of ragout. The palate is nuanced and very deep, with enormous complexity, volume and character. Vietti's Cerequio is stunning right off the bat! SUPERIORE.DE

"Here is an exciting new submission from Vietti. The 2018 Barolo Cerequio is beautiful, with a broad and rich bouquet that paints a panoramic vision of this MGA spanning the villages of La Morra and Barolo. Despite this broad vision, this wine also stands out for its subtle aromas of wild cherry, gravel and black liquorice. Cerequio is a wine of great breadth and depth. Taut tannins help to bring it together into a comprehensive whole. Only 4,925 bottles of this first release were made. Congratulations." Wine Advocate
