Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2017 Barolo Cerequio is a powerful, dark wine. Black cherry, mocha, leather, cloves and licorice bring out darker shades of Nebbiolo character. Huge tannins clamp down on the finish, limiting the wine's expressiveness. This is an especially brooding wine from Cerequio, a site where Barolos tend to be more finessed.
