Michele Chiarlo "CEREQUIO" Barolo
| Vintage: | 2019 |

| Description: | Wine Enthusiast 96 Points - "Cerequio is an iconic cru and does not disappoint. Immediately aromas of warmed cherries, mint, eucalyptus and mixed spices breeze in and out of the wine while savory and earth notes try their best to be noticed. Tannins are so well-crafted, they provide a strong foundation but feel light as a feather while fruit, herbs and earth flavors create a triumvirate that would make ancient Rome blush.". Kerin O'keefe 95 Points - "Camphor, violet and rose aromas mingle with ripe dark-skinned fruit on this fragrant Barolo. Elegantly structured and focused, the palate delivers juicy Morello cherry, cranberry, mint and licorice before closing on notes of blood orange. Refined tannins and fresh acidity keep it well balanced." Kerin OKeefe March 2023 kerinokeefe.com. Wine Advocate 95+ Points - "The Michele Chiarlo 2019 Barolo Cerequio is a bold and elegantly concentrated expression with good heft and staying power. That extra richness is the secret of this vintage, and this wine carries that weight with ease and grace. Flavors of dark fruit, plum and spice give the wine momentum over the palate. This bottle needs more years of cellar age." Drink 2025-2045. Fermentation in 5500 Liter oak vats for 20 days with the skins with a soft shower system of wetting the cap at a temperature between 30c and 27c. Aged for 2 years in mid-sized oak casks before refinement in bottle. |
