Michele Chiarlo

2019 ‘Cerequio’ Barolo DOCG, Michele Chiarlo

Piemonte, ItalyVintage: 2019

Aromas of mature fruits are complemented by hints of wild mint, eucalyptus, herbs and fine spice. Rich with a tightly woven structure of fine tannins, the 2019 shows outstanding elegance and harmony from this truly unique Barolo Cru.

DOCG Cerequio is one of the most esteemed Barolo “crus” of the area. It is a single vineyard located on the prestigious hillside between the villages of La Morra and Barolo. The soil is Tortonian and Helvetian calcareous marl, of a basic pH with over 30% sand. It is poor in organic matter, but rich in microelements such as iron and magnesium, imparting complexity to the resulting wine. The vineyard covers just three hectares and this wine is produced in limited quantities. The vineyard sits at 320 metres above sea level and has a south to southwesterly orientation. The Guyot trained vines are planted at a density of 4,500 vines per hectare. Excess bunches are thinned out at the end of the summer, leaving an average of just five to six bunches per vine. The vines are grown sustainably according to the V.I.V.A. Sustainable Wine certification and are manually harvested.

Why we love it

Classic Barolo showing layers of leather, cloves and chocolate over a silky texture, elegant, long and beautifully balanced.
