Barolo Cerequio Roberto Voerzio 1999
Barolo Cerequio Roberto Voerzio 1999 is a dry, full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Barolo, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity very high; oak influence is none. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 27-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.

Barolo Cerequio 1999 is a deeply concentrated Nebbiolo from Roberto Voerzio’s high-density plantings, reflecting a vintage of exceptional ripeness. This site is prized for its south-facing exposure, which Voerzio exploits through rigorous canopy management and green harvesting to produce only the highest quality fruit. The winemaking involves a spontaneous fermentation followed by maturation in small oak barrels for 24 months and eight months in stainless steel. The 1999 profile is characterized by its lush, dark fruit, including notes of kirsch and liquorice, alongside developed aromas of sandalwood and spices. The tannins have become wonderfully integrated over time, resulting in a rich, velvety texture that reflects the warmer microclimate of the Cerequio cru.
