Barolo Cerequio Roberto Voerzio 2001
Barolo Cerequio Roberto Voerzio 2001 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 some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 25-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.

Barolo Cerequio 2001 is a brooding and powerful Nebbiolo wine from Roberto Voerzio, showcasing the sheltered microclimate and clay-limestone soils of this famed La Morra vineyard. Voerzio’s commitment to ultra-low yields is evident in this vintage’s immense phenolic concentration and structural depth. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts was followed by 24 months of ageing in barriques and eight months in stainless steel. The 2001 vintage is a standout for its high acidity and dense core of dark cherry, tar and balsamic herbs.
