Results validated by DNV GL

Cerequio is one of the Langa's great historical cru. All the guides - Fantini 1880, Veronelli 1960, Ratti 1961, up to Slow Food - ranked it as “...most beautiful concentration of great Langa cru...” (Carlin Petrini 1990). Barolo Cerequio is unique for its balsamic and minty aroma and for its elegance. Sweet tannins and sublime fruits are evident even when more mature.

AIR indicator reflects the total greenhouse gas emission directly or indirectly associated with the production of a 0.75 liter bottle of wine. Its value is calculated in terms of kg of CO2 equivalent. The life cycle of a bottle of wine comprises four main phases: vineyard management, transformation of grapes into wine, bottling, distribution, bottles refrigeration and glass disposal.
The emissions produced by each phase (named respectively vineyard, cellar distribution and consumption) are measured as a percentage of the total emissions produced during the life cycle of one bottle of wine.
