ABOUT THE WINE

The 2018 Vigna Cerretta is a single-vineyard Barolo made from 100% Nebbiolo grown in Serralunga d’Alba. The Cerretta site sits at approximately 310–371 meters above sea level, where compact blue marl soils give the wine its distinctive structure. The grapes undergo a traditional maceration of about 20 days, followed by 24 months of aging, partly in large Slavonian oak casks and partly in French barriques, then further bottle aging.

Deeply colored and expressive, it layers dark cherry, plum and wild berries with dried rose, violet, licorice and earthy, lightly toasted notes. Full and dry on the palate, it has firm, finely woven tannins and a long finish. A natural match for braised beef, game, roasted meats and aged cheeses.
