Vietti Barolo Cerequio 2021
The grapes come from the historic “Cerequio'' vineyard: one of the most significant MGAs in the entire Barolo winegrowing region. Our plot is located in the municipality of Barolo. Located around 320 m asl, it has a southern exposure and a density of around 4.600 plants per hectare. The average age of the vines is around 36 years. Limestone and clay-rich soil with Marls of Sant’Agata.
Winemaking: alcoholic fermentation for around 3 weeks in a stainless steel tank, in contact with the skins and regular pumping-overs. This period includes pre- and post-fermentation maceration, with the traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood. Aging: around 30 months, in large wood barrels and partly in barriques.
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.
