Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Nov 15
I have always had a weakness for Roberto Voerzio's 2000 Barolo Cerequio, which I think remains one of his best wines to day. Silky, powerful and voluptuous, the 2000 delivers considerable intensity and raciness, all in the ripe, forward style of the year. The 2000 is not especially subtle or nuanced, but it is incredibly delicious today. This is an especially forward, hedonistic wine with all the elements in the right place. The 2000 has been consistently brilliant, as it is once again on this night.

Barolo Vineyard Fine Wine

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
