Vietti Barolo Cerrequio 2019 DOCG 1.5l

Vietti Barolo Cerrequio 2019 DOCG 1.5L is an open door to the Langhe, inviting a tasting designed for those who know how to wait: a magnum bottle intended for shared moments, capable of evolving over time while maintaining its own identity, in a geographical context marked by distinct microclimates and mineral-rich soils that give Barolo a vertical thrust without sacrificing a textured elegance. Cerrequio is born from the intertwining of terroir, careful viticulture, and winemaking management that favors the balance between character and refinement. Meanwhile, the history of Vietti, a company rooted in Piedmont and custodian of a family tradition, tells of a house that has placed quality at the heart of its mission: from the meticulous care of the vineyards to the selection of the grapes, to a production philosophy that favors limited intervention and a slow calibration of time. Cerrequio stands out for its pursuit of stylistic coherence, capturing the soul of Barolo without forcing it: the tannic structure is present yet controlled, and the extraction is managed to preserve sweetness and tension within a structure that resists aging. The distinguishing feature lies in Vietti's vision for a Barolo capable of transforming each year into a long story, where the power softens with elegance and where the progression of the flavors, from initial impact to the aftertaste, reveals notes of ripe black fruits, dried violets, graphite, bitter cocoa, and a light peppery note. On the palate, a minerality emerges that supports silky tannins, a lingering freshness, and a finish reminiscent of licorice and a hint of leather—elements that make Cerrequio a wine suited to long aging but also enjoyable for moments of meditation and sharing. Within the Vietti range, Cerrequio occupies a prominent position, offering a more structured interpretation of pure Barolo, without sacrificing a contemporary sensibility: it is the bottle that invites the evolution of the tasting experience, a reference point for those seeking depth, elegance, and longevity in a bottle that can be treasured or opened on special occasions. In keeping with the STELT positioning, Vietti Barolo Cerrequio 2019 represents a conscious, refined, and enduring choice.
