winemaker's notes:

In time, Cerequio develops an impressive aromatic palette that is both complex and aristocratic. In the mouth it is ample and rich yet delicate, with seductive ripe fruit and spice notes and an underlying tannic power of great subtlety, ending in a finish of exceptional length and refinement.

alcohol by volume: 14.0%
critical acclaim:

"This edition of the prized Cerequio Barolo by Michele Chiarlo flaunts its own unique personality with immediate aromas of white cherry, red apple, tar, licorice powder and root beer. It’s a polished, squeaky- clean wine with a long finish that seems more buoyant and vertical compared to past vintages."

Wine Enthusiast

"The 2006 Barolo Cerequio is a powerful, deep wine loaded with plums, black cherries, minerals, violets and spices. This, too, is a virile, powerful Barolo from one of the region's top sites. The Cerequio boasts superior concentration and a long, intense finish. With time in the glass the wine turns quite a bit more delicate and crystalline, revealing the kaleidoscopic personality that makes Cerequio such a great site. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.

This is a strong set of new releases from Michele Chiarlo. I found that the Barbareschi and Baroli needed several hours of air to come together, so readers are advised to open these wines well in advance."

The Wine Advocate

"Full ripeness, dense extract and new oak all contribute to this wine’s modern profile. Its cherry plum flavors broaden and sweeten in the finish. This is ready now, and suited to drinking over the next several years, particularly with a thick-cut steak."
