Cerequio

Location: Italy

Legal name: Cerequio MGA

Region: Piedmont

Nested under: Barolo

Cerequio is a well-known Barolo MGA whose label presence helps drinkers move from commune-level Barolo to vineyard-geography detail. The wines are usually discussed in terms of Nebbiolo perfume, red cherry, rose, spice, and firm yet graceful tannin. Cerequio does not change the grape requirement or DOCG identity; it narrows the origin to a named place.
