Barolo Cerequio Roberto Voerzio 2000
Barolo Cerequio Roberto Voerzio 2000 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 little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 26-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.

Barolo Cerequio 2000 is a plush and hedonistic expression of the Cerequio terroir from Roberto Voerzio, benefitting from a warm and consistent growing season. The early flowering and hot August of 2000 resulted in fruit with softer tannins and more immediate aromatic appeal than the more austere 2001 vintage. Voerzio’s signature low yields of 500 grams per vine ensure that the wine maintains a high level of extract despite the warmer year. The profile features ripe plum, espresso and roses, with a generous mouthfeel and a long, spice-tinged finish. While Voerzio`s wines are typically built for the long haul, the 2000 vintage offers a more open-knit and accessible character that showcases the opulent side of La Morra. It is a luxurious, well-built Barolo that has reached its peak of drinkability.
