The 2021 Vietti Barolo Cerequio is a distinguished single-vineyard Barolo sourced from the renowned Cerequio cru, one of the most prestigious sites shared between La Morra and Barolo. Widely admired for its combination of aromatic elegance and structural depth, this Nebbiolo opens with captivating aromas of rose petal, red cherry and raspberry, layered with notes of orange zest, dried herbs, sweet spice and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with beautifully refined tannins and vibrant acidity that provide both precision and longevity. Flavours of sour cherry, red plum and wild berries are complemented by savoury nuances of tobacco, liquorice and forest floor. The wine displays exceptional balance between fruit purity and structure, building towards a long, graceful finish marked by mineral freshness and remarkable detail.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors and lovers of traditional Barolo seeking a wine that combines elegance, complexity and ageing potential. It pairs beautifully with braised beef, slow-cooked lamb, truffle-infused dishes, game meats and aged Parmigiano Reggiano. While already impressive with extended decanting, this wine will continue to evolve and gain complexity over the next 15–25 years.
