Representing about 4,900 bottles to be releases in the fall, the 2017 Barolo Cerequio is tempered and mild, growing in intensity as the wine takes on more oxygen in the glass. The fruit is supple and nicely shaped, both by the heat of the vintage and the careful use of oak for the refinement and aging. This is an open and accessible wine from one of the most celebrated sites in the Barolo appellation.

This is ripe and offers richness to its cherry, currant, juniper and wild thyme flavors. The tannins are well integrated, while this stays fresh, with notes of iron, earth and tobacco on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2024 through 2042. 400 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
