Barolo Cerequio comes from vines that are over 35 years old. The vineyards were acquired by Michele Chiarlo in the 2010s through fortunate circumstances. The 2021 vintage confirms once again that the purchase of this vineyard was one of the smartest decisions Vietti has ever made. Cerequio is a wine of nuance and class that reflects the entire pedigree of this great site. Crushed red berry fruit, cherry, blood orange, spice and mint rise from the glass, framed by nervy tannins that convey classicism. An exotic, racy Barolo. SUPERIORE.DE

"Broad and ripe, featuring cherry, strawberry, hay, earth and green tea aromas and flavors. A layer of refined tannins gives this red lift, while the center of sweet fruit adds harmony and lingers on the finish." Wine Spectator

"The Vietti 2021 Barolo Cerequio is another classic from this exceptionally successful winery. This parcel was acquired from the Chiarlo family, and although the site is La Morra, it behaves more like Sarmassa in Barolo, producing wines with a firm, tight entry and good structure. You could say that it has a nervous character now, in its youth, and we naturally expect it to smooth out and find harmony over time." Wine Advocate

"This wine has impressive flavours of blue fruits, earth, red plums and dried herbs. Firm and chewy, with refined fruit, a precise, racy profile and a chewy finish. Well-crafted and refined, with an imposing structure that requires three to five years of ageing. An outstanding wine." James Suckling

"Uplifting nuances of mint and strawberry are brilliantly countered by an earthy, mineral depth. This wine is elegantly weighted with lingering power, and the tannins exhibit a powerful stoniness, yet are gracefully proportioned. Truly the epitome of balance - but far from finished. Launched in 2018, Cerequio (along with Monvigliero) is one of the latest additions to Vietti's range of single MGA Barolos. The 0.79-hectare plot, which was purchased from Michele Chiarlo, is located in the municipality of Barolo, just above Sarmassa." Decanter

"The Barolo Cerequio 2021 combines elegance and power in a way that only Nebbiolo can. Bright acidity and strong floral notes pervade this medium-bodied but dense and multi-layered wine. All elements are skilfully interwoven. This nuanced, finely characterised Barolo has always been convincing, and so it is today." Vinous
