Production notes

Our winery was established in 1986 in La Morra, a town in the heart of the Langhe that has always been renowned for the greatness of its vineyards, some of which were mentioned in town records going back as far as 1250. We began with 2 hectares, and over the years have managed to acquire the most prestigious, historic crus for the production of Barolo, such as La Serra, Brunate, Cerequio, Sarmassa, Rocche dell’Annunziata and Fossati, and excellent vineyards for Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Merlot. We then decided to increase the number of vines in the new vineyards, and in some of the old ones, to 6000/8000 per hectare and reduce yield for the most prestigious wines to 500/700 grams per plant. The clusters we leave on our vines are exclusively responsible for the quality of our wine. We have always worked in the traditional way in the cellar, with total simplicity at every stage from vinification to bottling, with no interference, letting the diversity of each terroir emerge and giving each vineyard the chance to make its own wine. Our production is limited: with just over 20 hectares we produce between 40,000 to 60,000 bottles, depending on the harvest.

Tasting notes

Garnet ruby ​​red colour with brilliant highlights. On the nose you can smell notes of ripe red fruits, mint, eucalyptus, gentian and very fine spices. Barolo Cerequio is unique for its balsamic vein and elegance, for its sweet and fine tannins, for its fruity and sublime taste even in full maturity. It stands out for elegance and harmony, making this great CRU truly unique. It reaches its peak from 6 years onwards and it is beautiful for at least 20 years.

Press reviews

(Vintage 2017)

"Extremely perfumed and beautiful, offering rose-petal and lavender aromas with some tar to the ripe cherries. Some spice, such as nutmeg, as well as light hazelnut. Fresh. Full-bodied, very tight and compact with firmness and wonderful length and focus. Consistent drive through the center of the wine." JAMES SUCKLING
