Italy | Piedmont | Barolo DOCG | 100% Nebbiolo

Farming: Sustainably cultivated on calcareous-clay slopes in La Morra, where the microclimate and marl-rich soils produce Nebbiolo of power and elegance

🌟 A majestic single-cru Barolo—refined, structured, and steeped in pedigree.

👁 In the Glass:
Brilliant garnet with tawny edges—intense, yet transparent and poised.

👃 On the Nose:
Deep and aromatic. Layers of rose petal, black cherry, and dried raspberry are joined by hints of truffle, tobacco, menthol, and a dusting of spice. Complex and evolving with every swirl.

👅 On the Palate:
Elegant and powerful. Fine-grained tannins frame a core of vibrant red fruit, dried herbs, and earthy depth. The structure is firm yet graceful, with bright acidity and a savoury, mineral-etched finish that lingers long.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with braised beef, truffle risotto, porcini mushrooms, or aged Parmigiano Reggiano. A contemplative wine for special occasions and refined pairings.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Already compelling, but will age beautifully over 15–20+ years, gaining layers of nuance and texture.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Michele Chiarlo’s Cerequio is Barolo at its most noble—expressive, age-worthy, and unmistakably from one of the region’s grandest crus. A wine of tradition, terroir, and timeless elegance.
