Description

2016 Barolo "Cerretta" DOCG,
Giacomo Conterno

Falstaff:
Leutendes Rubin mit leicht aufhellendem Rand. Charmante, schmeichelnde Nase, eröffnet mit Noten nach getrockneten Rosenblättern, dann saftige Kirsche, etwas Himbeere und Rhabarber. Tritt am Gaumen gross auf, zupackendes, dichtes Tannin, tiefgründig, etwas Trüffel, viel Zwetschke, hat alles für ein langes Leben.
 
Vinous:
The 2016 Barolo Cerretta is an incredibly elegant wine, so much so that opening a bottle now is far from a crime. That may sound heretical, but it’s a good example of how finessed young Barolo can be when it gets the kind of care it has here. It’s also important to note that while Cerretta is in Serralunga, this pocket of vineyards is more similar to those in La Morra in terms of geology, so the wines are correspondingly much more approachable in their youth. Silky tannins wrap around a core of bright red berry fruit, spice and floral notes in a pliant, mid-weight Barolo that is all class. 2024-2041
