The 2019 Michele Chiarlo Barolo Cerequio is an exceptional example of the renowned Italian wine. With a deep ruby red colour and a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, truffles, and spices, this wine is a true sensory delight. On the palate, it is full-bodied and elegant, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Hints of black cherry, licorice, and tobacco add depth and complexity to the already impressive flavour profile. This vintage from Michele Chiarlo showcases the unique terroir of the Cerequio vineyard, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and refined. It is best enjoyed after decanting, and will continue to develop in the bottle for years to come. Overall, this is a truly exceptional Barolo that perfectly embodies the essence of Italian winemaking.
Winemakers Notes
Michele Chiarlo, the iconic winemaker of Barolo
Michele Chiarlo has played a key role in the production of Italian fine wines and the international recognition of the Barolo appellation. His story as a wine producer began in 1956. From early on, he was convinced that the emancipation of the Piedmont hill has to be found in quality wines that highlight the greatest terroirs. In 1988, he bottled his first Cru of Barolo. Since then, he has never stopped fighting for this appellation and its great wines.
During his career, Michele Chiarlo has always followed his father's advice: "to be patient, make sacrifices but buy only vineyards in important positions". This led him to purchase the most prestigious crus in the Piedmont, i
ncluding some parcels of Cerequio in 1988
. Located between La Morra and Barolo, Cerequio is considered as one of the finest Barolo crus. It is shaped as a magnificent amphitheatre of vineyards where the soils, exposure and microclimate come together to create exceptional Barolos. 3ha of vines are dedicated to the production of Barolo Cerequio. During exceptional vintages, 0,5ha of them produce the unique Cerequio Riserva.
The 2019 vintage
Barolo Cerequio 2019 reveals an intense and bright color; the bouquet unveils the distinctive notes of the cru (mint, eucalyptus, sweet spices). A complex wine right from its youth. The mouth is rich and well-defined, bringing out a remarkable structure that is perfectly in balance with the dense and silky tannins, denoting a truly outstanding vintage. Cerequio 2019 is a classic vintage with an open bouquet and harmonious taste, a wine bound for a remarkable longevity and exquisite complexity.”
