Tasting notes
A jeweled ruby color, the 2020 Barolo Cerequio is pure with spiced character in its notes of red cherries, candied roses, cinnamon, and candied tangerine. It has a seamless structure with ultra-fine tannins, fresh, even acidity, and a lightweight feel. Pure and balanced, it’s going to have a wide window for enjoyment over the next 15-20 years.

Like a bouquet of flowers with orange peel, candied cranberry and blood orange. Mineral. Full-bodied with chewy and minerally tannins with dried citrus. More racy tannins at the end. Juicy and zesty finish. Needs time to come together and soften. Drink after 2029.
The 2020 Barolo Cerequio is a pleasant, easygoing wine. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, mint, rose petal and cinnamon all grace this mid-weight, sensual Barolo. Ripe, silky tannins wrap it all together nicely. The 2020 is a solid effort, but it is also a touch on the light side.
