About this wine

In 2016, Cerequio shows its signature profile: lifted aromatics of dried roses, violets and sweet red cherries, layered with hints of spice, cedar, tobacco leaf and crushed stones. On the palate it is refined yet confident, medium+ in body, beautifully linear, and supported by ultra-fine, chalky tannins that carry the wine with quiet power. The acidity is vibrant but never sharp, giving the wine remarkable tension and a sense of slow uncoiling depth.

Tasting Note

Fragrant purple flower, dark-skinned berry, chopped mint and pipe tobacco are just some of the aromas you'll find on this captivating red. The delicious palate combines structure, finesse and earthiness, delivering juicy Marasca cherry, black raspberry, licorice and truffle framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it youthfully focused and well balanced.

Michele Chiarlo

A cornerstone of Serralunga. Massolino’s Barolo captures the village’s depth and power but with impressive refinement. The estate combines careful farming, traditional vinification, and patient cask aging. The wines show structure, mineral tension, and potential for long aging. Consistent, reliable, and deeply rooted in classical Barolo craft.
