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 Michele Chiarlo 2018 Barolo Cerequio opens to a pretty lacework of aromas with smaller berry fruits, crushed stone, rusty nail, pressed lilac or blue flower and a dusting of spicy licorice powder. The bouquet is vertical and tight, leading to a very precise succession of varietal tones that flavor the wine's polished finish. The Cerequio has ample power as well, with etched tannins that grip this Nebbiolo firmly to the palate.
