The Cerequio Sommeliers

Michele Chiarlo’s Cerequio Cru Meets Sommeliers from Around the World!

Cerequio stands among Barolo’s most celebrated crus – renowned for its elegance, depth, and extraordinary aging potential. But a great wine isn’t just what’s in the glass – it’s also the story behind it, the perspective of the taster, and the experience of the presenter.

That’s the inspiration behind The Cerequio Sommeliers, a new initiative by Michele Chiarlo inviting respected sommeliers from Italy and beyond to share their personal visions of Cerequio and Barolo. Delivered through short video interviews, this open dialogue enriches the cru’s narrative with diverse viewpoints and experiences.

The interviews are available on Michele Chiarlo’s social platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and the official YouTube channel.
