The nose is refined and layered, often opening with red cherry, rose petal, violet, wild berry, and hints of spice, tar, and earthy minerals.\n\nOn 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.
