Why We're Buying

Michele Chairlo does justice to Piedmont’s best-known grape. The estate’s Barolo Cerequio comes with a beautiful ruby red hue that’s teeming with black raspberry, cherry, and licorice flavors. The 100 nebbiolo has an enviable collection of hardware, including the 2006 Golden Star from Vinibuoni d'Italia and the 2005 vintage gold from the International Wine Challenge.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2016 Barolo Cerequio is born in the vineyard cru that best represents the excellent winemaking efforts of the Michele Chiarlo team. The estate owns a beautiful boutique hotel and restaurant in the middle of the vineyard and fittingly uses this spot for most public functions. This is a terrific expression, showing the power and balance of the vintage with pretty accents of wild fruit, rose and dark earth that render volume and intensity to the wine's overall performance.
