"The 2010 Barolo Riserva Cerequio celebrates elegance and nuance. The wine has a sultry and silky feel, and it will age nicely as those tannins become silkier and better integrated in time. There is solid grit and fullness here, with loads of fruit-driven intensity. Fermentation includes submerged cap in oak casks for 18 to 20 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in 700-liter barrel for 24 months. A mere 2,400 bottles were made."
"From the stellar 2010 vintage, this gorgeous wine lives up to the year's lofty reputation. It opens with enticing scents of dried rose petal, truffle, crushed aromatic herb, woodland berry and a whiff of tar. On the full-bodied elegantly structured palate, star anise, mint, tobacco and a hint of mineral add depth to a juicy red-berry core. It's beautifully balanced, with bright acidity and taut silky tannins. Drink 2020–2040."
