Reviewed January 2024Like a bouquet of flowers with orange peel, candied cranberry and blood orange. Mineral. Full-bodied with chewy and minerally tannins with dried citrus. More racy tannins at the end. Juicy and zesty finish. Needs time to come together and soften. Drink after 2029.

A jeweled ruby color, the 2020 Barolo Cerequio is pure with spiced character in its notes of red cherries, candied roses, cinnamon, and candied tangerine. It has a seamless structure with ultra-fine tannins, fresh, even acidity, and a lightweight feel. Pure and balanced, it’s going to have a wide window for enjoyment over the next 15-20 years. (AF)

Vinous
The 2020 Barolo Cerequio is a pleasant, easygoing wine. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, mint, rose petal and cinnamon all grace this mid-weight, sensual Barolo. Ripe, silky tannins wrap it all together nicely. The 2020 is a solid effort, but it is also a touch on the light side. (AG)
Notes
Roberto Voerzio’s Cerequio Barolo 2020 is a masterful expression of this renowned La Morra cru, offering both power and precision. The nose unfolds with perfumed notes of ripe red berries, dried roses, sweet spices, and hints of cedar. The palate is structured yet graceful, with layers of cherry, pomegranate, licorice, and crushed stone minerality. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity create a poised, lingering finish. A deeply elegant, age-worthy Barolo that will develop beautifully in the cellar, ideal for refined braised dishes and truffle-infused cuisine.
