Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: Cerequio is the vineyard which, from the very start, made Roberto Voerzio a name to reckon with, and the 2000 Barolo Cerequio confirms that this is the cru which systematically gives him the best fruit. Warm, potent, and very expansive notes of red fruit, licorice, smoke, and caramel announce that this is a wine of superior concentration. The packed and supple palate, sweet, mouth-filling and tongue-coating, plush and deep personality only confirms this initial impression.
- James Suckling: Bright berry, jam and tar aromas in this one, turning to Indian spices. Full-bodied, with a solid core of ripe fruit and chewy tannins. Velvety. This is a modern, superclean wine. Long finish, yet tightly wound like a golf ball.
Producer Information
Roberto Voerzio is one of the most acclaimed wine producers in Piedmont. His Barolo wines are highly prized at auction, and are known for being ripe, rich, and less tannic and oaky than many other examples of the famous appellation. The estate owns or manages 8.5 hectares (21 acres) of vineyards around La Morra, with high planting densities producing tiny yields. There are six different parcels of in a range of Barolo crus: Brunate, Cerequio, Capalot, La Serra, Pozzo dell’Anunziata and Sarmassa di Barolo, which are all sources for individual cuvées. In addition, 2013 saw the release of the first vintage – the 2003 – of the Fossati Case Nere 10 Anni Riserva. The portfolio is completed by two leading Barbera d’Alba wines (including the benchmark Vignasse), a Dolcetto d’Alba, a Langhe Merlot, and a Langhe Nebbiolo.
