Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas
This is balsamic, with a touch of tile, licorice and some wild herbs. The palate is medium- bodied with tight, delineated and succulent fruit, firm tannins and lovely encompassing freshness. Very cohesive and integral. Better from 2026.

The 2021 Barolo Cerequio is redolent of black cherry, mocha, espresso, licorice, dried flowers and spice. As always, Chiarlo interprets Cerequio in a pretty rich, deep style. I find the 2021 to have plenty of those qualities, but with a bit more refinement and less heaviness than in the past. That's a very positive development in my view. There's a lot to like in this dramatic, ample Barolo.
