2020 Barolo Cerequio DOCG, Vietti *Rehoboam - 5L*

2020 Barolo Cerequio DOCG, Vietti *Rehoboam - 5L*

Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

The Silk Throne in Rehoboam

This is Barolo with theatre, perfume and serious aristocratic calm. In Rehoboam, Cerequio becomes a centrepiece of real grandeur, the kind of bottle that changes the pace of a room before the cork is even drawn. It opens with red cherry, ripe strawberry, plum, rose and violet, before deeper notes of mint, liquorice, cinnamon, balsamic spice, tobacco and crushed stone begin to gather.

The palate is elegant, layered and beautifully commanding, with fine Nebbiolo tannins carrying red fruit, orange peel, savoury spice and mineral detail. The 2020 vintage brings a little generosity and warmth, while Vietti keeps the wine lifted, precise and long. In large format, it feels built for patience, celebration and the sort of table that deserves a little ceremony.

For when the occasion calls for Barolo with scale, grace and a very long memory.
Pairs with truffle risotto, roast duck, braised beef, wild mushroom tajarin, game, aged parmesan, slow-cooked lamb, or a long dinner that deserves a centrepiece.
If this wine were… a throne, it would be carved from old walnut, draped in deep red silk and carried into the room only when everyone was ready.

Vietti is one of Piemonte’s great historic producers, based in Castiglione Falletto and admired for its pioneering role in single-vineyard Barolo. It's 2020 Cerequio is Barolo DOCG, made from 100% Nebbiolo from the historic Cerequio MGA, with Vietti’s parcel located in the municipality of Barolo on limestone and clay-rich soils. It captures the estate’s signature balance of tradition, precision, artistry and deep respect for the great crus of the Langhe.

The Vietti family has produced fine wine from the heart of the Langhe since the 1800s, when Carlo Vietti established the winery in the medieval village of Castiglione Falletto. At the end of the 1950s, Alfredo Currado, husband of Luciana Vietti, introduced the idea of producing single vineyard crus in Barolo and Barbaresco and in 1961 one of the very first Barolo Crus was produced by Vietti: Rocche di Castiglione. Alfredo was known locally as the ‘Father of Arneis’ as he dedicated time and research into reviving the nearly extinct Arneis variety. Passionate about fine art, in 1974 Alfredo and Luciana started incorporating beautiful works of art on their iconic wine labels. In the 1990s their son and fourth generation winemaker, Luca Currado Vietti, continued the family winemaking legacy. In 2016, the Krause family purchased Vietti and worked alongside Luca until his retirement in 2023. They further developed the estate with the purchase of new, renowned crus in Barolo and Barbaresco, and in Colli Tortonesi where Timorasso flourishes. In 2022, Vietti was awarded 'Winery of the Year' by Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

The grapes were gently pressed. Skin-contact fermentation lasted for around four weeks in a steel tank, which included pre- and post-ferment maceration, involving the traditional submerged-cap method. Malolactic conversion took place in oak and the wine was matured for 32 months in Slavonian and French oak casks. It was bottled without filtration.
