Cerequio is to be found on a splendid, south-facing amphitheatre hill between the communes of La Morra and Barolo. The exceptional composition of the soil together with a particularly mild climate make Cerequio one of most prestigious crus throughout the entire Barolo production area.

Agronomist and researcher Lorenzo Fantini, in his famous "Monografia della Viticoltura ed Enologia della Provincia di Cuneo", written in 1880, drew up the first classification of the Barolo vineyards: only Cerequio and a neighbouring vineyard were ranked as having the "most suitable positions". We are the owners of Antico Podere Averame, comprising about 6 hectares, which represents over a third of the cru that we grow, with the utmost commitment, in order to produce a top-rank Barolo.

Characteristics of the cru: particularly elegant, olfactory complexity with predominant balsamic sensations, of mint, fruit jams; its taste matches the bouquet; its structure is rich, ample and of great character, with a notable presence of delicate tannins; surprising is the delicacy with which it caresses the palate.

Life cycle: it reaches its peak after 5-6 years, and can exceed 20 years.

Serving temperature: 17-18° C. Accompaniments: red meat and game dishes, excellent with ripe, non-marbled cheese.
