2020 Vietti Barolo Cerequio Magnum

The 2020 Vietti Barolo Cerequio Magnum is a standout expression of one of Barolo’s most celebrated crus, offered in the impressive magnum format for added aging potential and cellar presence. Vietti is renowned for crafting wines of precision and site transparency, and Cerequio is prized for its elegance, perfume, and depth. This is a modern classic from a historic vineyard, with the scale and pedigree to reward patient collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a luminous garnet hue with youthful ruby highlights. The nose is refined and layered, often opening with red cherry, rose petal, violet, wild berry, and hints of spice, tar, and earthy minerals. On the palate, Cerequio is known for combining Barolo’s structure with a supple, polished texture, delivering ripe red fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a long, persistent finish. The magnum format enhances its slow evolution, making it especially suited to long cellaring; this wine should age beautifully for well over a decade and likely much longer in a proper cellar.

Production
Cerequio is one of the most esteemed vineyards in the Barolo zone of Piemonte, known for its favorable exposure and balanced soils that help produce wines of finesse and aromatic detail. Vietti’s approach emphasizes careful vineyard work and restrained vinification to preserve the character of the site, with traditional Barolo methods typically complemented by precision in extraction and élevage to support purity and structure.

Food & Serving
Serve at 16-18°C and decant for 1-2 hours if drinking young, especially in a magnum, to allow the aromatics and structure to open gradually. Ideal pairings include braised beef, veal shank, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, game birds, and aged hard cheeses.

Producer
Vietti is one of Piedmont’s most respected producers, with a long history of quality-focused winemaking and a strong reputation for showcasing single-vineyard Barolo. Based in the heart of the region, the estate has played a significant role in elevating the profile of cru bottlings and remains widely admired for its balance of tradition, precision, and cellar-worthy wines.
