Barolo DOCG Cerequio 2020 Vietti

Vietti's Barolo Cerequio is produced with 100% Nebbiolo grapes, coming from the prestigious Cerequio vineyard, in the Barolo area. The vines, located at about 320 meters above sea level, have an average age of 37 years and grow on predominantly silty soils, enriched by the presence of Marne di Sant'Agata.

The vinification involves a fermentation of about a month in steel tanks, with pre- and post-fermentation maceration using the traditional submerged cap method. The malolactic fermentation takes place in wood, then the wine ages for about 30 months in large oak barrels, with a small part in barriques, without filtration before bottling.

It has an intense ruby red color. The nose releases a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits and fine spices. The palate is full, with citrus notes of orange and mandarin, accompanied by fine and imposing tannins that support an enveloping and persistent structure. The finish is balanced and elegant, with balsamic accents.

It is perfect when paired with roast meat, braised meat and game.
