Barolo Cerequio 1999 is a deeply concentrated Nebbiolo from Roberto Voerzio’s high-density plantings, reflecting a vintage of exceptional ripeness. This site is prized for its south-facing exposure, which Voerzio exploits through rigorous canopy management and green harvesting to produce only the highest quality fruit. The winemaking involves a spontaneous fermentation followed by maturation in small oak barrels for 24 months and eight months in stainless steel. The 1999 profile is characterized by its lush, dark fruit, including notes of kirsch and liquorice, alongside developed aromas of sandalwood and spices. The tannins have become wonderfully integrated over time, resulting in a rich, velvety texture that reflects the warmer microclimate of the Cerequio cru.

1999 Barolo Cerequio—Dark ruby. Voerzio’s Cerequio is usually my favorite of his wines and the 1999 is truly special. It opens with a beautiful floral nose, followed by suggestions of spices and cocoa, then melds seamlessly onto a palate packed with layers of super-ripe fruit. Boasting notable concentration, as well as definition, length and finesse, it is a great effort for the vintage. In my blind tastings of the 1999 Barolos, this Cerequio was one of the standouts. Like the Brunate it should drink well to age 20. 95+/drink after 2009, 04/06 - Antonio Galloni
