Vietti - Barolo Cerequio 2020 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
This item is available for pre-arrival.
Intense ruby red color. The nose is rich, with notes of ripe red berries and fine spices. On the palate it is full-bodied with fruity and citrusy (orange, mandarin) notes. The tannins are simultaneously fine and imposing, supporting the wine’s enveloping and persistent structure. The finish reveals balsamic notes that further enliven this wine, with a rare elegance and balance.
James Suckling: 97 Points
Impressive depth of color and brightness from this Cerequio that comes with so much fruit. So fragrant and complex. Fresh brambly raspberries, red cherries, grapefruit and mineral. Pure, ripe and racy, with fully resolved tannins and a tense, compact finish. Expressive and impressive! Vegan. Already approachable for the depth of fruit, but better from 2027 for additional complexity.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2020 Barolo Cerequio once again confirms that buying this vineyard is one of the smartest decisions Vietti ever made. A wine of nuance and class, spice and mint soar out of the glass, all framed by nervy tannins that convey classicism. This is an exotic, racy Barolo.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The Vietti 2020 Barolo Cerequio (with 3,866 bottles made) has a little more hot-vintage thickness or softness on the mid-palate and shows aromas of dark cherry, dried mint, licorice root and naval orange. The fruit is a little more one-dimensional in 2020, although the acidity is there and the fruit tannins feel velvety and chalky. The wine completes malolactic fermentation in barrique and then goes into large oak casks for two years.
