From the Cerequio cru on the La Morra and Barolo boundary, this is an elegant, imposing Vietti Barolo with strawberry, plum and cherry, enveloping body and a persistent balsamic finish.

What it pairs with

  • Braised beef cheek
    Imposing tannin meets the richness of slow-braised beef.
  • Tajarin with butter
    The wine's red fruit carries the egg-rich pasta.
  • Aged Toma
    Alpine cheese frames the balsamic finish.

History

Cerequio is a prized cru straddling La Morra and Barolo, giving Vietti a harmonious, complex and age-worthy Barolo.
