Roberto Voerzio - Barolo - Cerequio - Rouge - 2015

Wine:

The 2015 Red Barolo Cerequio is truly impressive! It is a well structured wine with strong aromas, but it is also very delicate and refined. Combining to perfection a certain firmness with a great smoothness in the palate, it has silky tannins, notes of juicy cherry, violet, with a still primary and juvenile accent. Time will enhance its intensity and complexity and one can only be impatient at the idea of rediscovering it in a few years... Its freshness and minerality complete its place among the best barolos... A wine rated 96/100 by Parker.
