Why We're Buying

Roberto Voerzio has always maintained an uncompromising vision for his wines. It's why his Barolo is the gold standard in Piedmont. Take his Barolo Cerequio, for example. The grapes come from one of the elite vineyards in La Morra, where the vines are 35+ years old and hand-harvested. After aging in three separate systems, this Barolo justifies its triple-digit price tag.

Critics Scores

James Suckling

I really like the ripe plum and berry fruit that turns to almost dried dark fruits on the palate. Full and juicy, with round tannins. Yummy. Better after 2013.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2006 Barolo Cerequio opens with an utterly beguiling, captivating bouquet that leads to ripe red fruit, flowers, minerals and spices, all framed by sweet, silky tannins. Aromatics, textural elegance and freshness come together in this energetic, vivid Barolo. The finish is exceptionally long, pure and fresh, which suggests the wine will age gracefully for many years. The 2006 Barolo Cerequio is emerging as one of the finest wines in this important vintage. Simply put, it is awesome! Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.

Wine Spectator

This elegant 2006 offers sandalwood, tobacco and plum aromas, with spice flavors. Still firm on the finish, where the tannins are most prominent, with a touch of licorice. Drink now through 2028.
