From a vintage that Beni di Batasiolo has interpreted very nicely, the 2009 Barolo Cerequio opens to a dark garnet color with concentrated color saturation. The bouquet revs up to a well-balanced presentation of dark berry, spice, tar, balsam herb and cola. There is a touch of black truffle or moist earth as well.

Ripe, with sweet cherry and strawberry flavors, and tobacco and spice hints. The tannins are burly, leaving a mouthcoating impression on the finish. Best from 2018 through 2028. 1,165 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
