Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Monica Larner
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.

Aromas of dried strawberry, meat and rose stems follow through to a medium body, with firm and slightly chewy tannins and a medium finish. Linear and racy. It needs three or four years to soften. Better after 2027.
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2019 Barolo Cerequio is a powerful, brooding wine. Black cherry, leather, incense, tobacco, mocha, dried flowers and chocolate all meld together. As always, the Chiarlo Cerequio is dark, ample and imposing; more power than finesse, elements that build nicely into the substantial finish.
