Tasting notes
Voerzio’s 1999 Barolo Cerequio wraps around the palate with endless layers of fruit. The 1999 is still incredibly fresh and primary, with fabulous intensity and just the barest hints of tertiary complexity. Sweet floral notes meld into spice and red toned fruit, all supported by incisive 1999 tannins that cause the wine to clamp up a bit in the glass. A wine that is both incredibly sexy yet powerful, the Cerequio dazzles from the very first taste.

Roberto Voerzio's 1999 Barolo Cerequio, from one of my favorite vineyards, is another wine I have always adored. Once again, it is magnificent.
Dark ruby. Voerzio's Cerequio is usually my favorite of his wines and the 1999 is truly special. It opens with a beautiful floral nose, followed by suggestions of spices and cocoa, then melds seamlessly onto a palate packed with layers of super-ripe fruit. Boasting notable concentration, as well as definition, length and finesse, it is a great effort for the vintage. In my blind tastings of the 1999 Barolos, this Cerequio was one of the standouts. Like the Brunate it should drink well to age 20.
