Michele Chiarlo – ‘Cerequio’ Barolo Riserva

Situated between the municipal districts of La Morra and Barolo, Cerequio is considered one the most prestigious crus of Barolo. A magnificent amphitheatre of vineyards where the soils, exposure and microclimate come together to create exceptional Barolos. “Choicest position”, as described in 1880 by Lorenzo Fantini, author of the first monography about viticulture in the province of Cuneo, it was included among the “Top Category” crus by Renato Ratti, in the celebrated Mappa del Barolo published in 1965, the basis of today’s classification in MGA, or Additional Geographical Definitions, which designates this area as having “absolute prestige”.

Bright garnet with light orange hues. Complex, intense with great charm, with balsamic notes, violet, small black fruits, truffle and fine spices. Rich and powerful at first, but extremely elegant with a texture of silky, enveloping tannins; great harmony and long-lasting flavour.
