Tasting Notes

Vietti Barolo Cerequio 2020 is a distinguished single-vineyard Barolo that exemplifies the elegance and complexity of Piedmont’s celebrated terroir. Sourced exclusively from the renowned Cerequio Cru, this wine captures the unique character of one of Barolo’s most prestigious sites, known for producing wines with remarkable depth and finesse.

This vintage is notably youthful yet already displays an attractive, fragrant perfume that entices the senses with exotic and racy aromas. The 2020 growing season offered ideal conditions, allowing the Nebbiolo grapes to achieve perfect ripeness while preserving vibrant acidity and refined tannins, which are hallmarks of classic Barolo.

On the palate, the Vietti Barolo Cerequio 2020 reveals a sophisticated balance of ripe red fruits, floral notes, and subtle spice, delivering a complex and lingering finish. Its racy structure and exotic nuances make it a standout example of Barolo’s potential for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.

Critically acclaimed for its precision and aromatic intensity, this wine is a testament to Vietti’s commitment to quality and traditional winemaking techniques. The Cerequio vineyard’s unique microclimate and calcareous soils contribute to the wine’s distinctive minerality and elegance.

Perfectly suited for pairing with rich Italian cuisine, game, or aged cheeses, the Vietti Barolo Cerequio 2020 offers a refined tasting experience that reflects the heritage and excellence of Barolo wines.

Critic Scores

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.

The 2020 Barolo Cerequio is fantastic on opening, with aromas of wet asphalt, dried raspberries, cranberry, and fresh roses. Medium-bodied, it has a more vertical feel through the palate, with fine tannins and fresh spine of acidity. Drink 2026-2040.

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, the Cerequio captures all the pedigree of this great site. Crushed red berry fruit, kirsch, blood orange, spice and mint soar out of the glass, all framed by nervy tannins that convey classicism. This is an exotic, racy Barolo. 95+

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.
