Tasting notes
The Michele Chiarlo 2020 Barolo Cerequio generally has more heft and power compared to the Cannubi, but like that wine, it also shows some of the extra concentration and root-versus-fruit flavors that come with a hot vintage. The wine is softly textured with fine and accessible tannins. 13,000 bottles were created.

The 2020 Barolo Cerequio is another fine choice in this range for near and medium-term drinking. Macerated cherry, mocha, spice, crushed rose petals and a kiss of oak all grace this mid-weight, open-knit Barolo from La Morra's Cerequio vineyard.
Pale ruby with a hint of garnet – bricking. Dusty dried herbs – classic Italian. Really firm, high tannin and fresh, high acidity. Lovely. (SCJ)
La Morra. Lustrous mid ruby. A nose bursting with crushed, sweet raspberry and notes of cinnamon bark. Sweet red fruit, that is still embryonic and coating tannins clinging to the fruit. Lots of concentration hiding the acidity a little at this stage. (WS)
