"Mature plum and fragrant purple-flower aromas lead the nose on this brawny red along with whiffs of tilled soil and leather. On the densely concentrated solid palate, tight grainy tannins and the warmth of evident alcohol accompany dried black cherry, licorice and tobacco. Drink after 2026." - Kerin O'Keefe

“This wine is a true beauty. In this release of 5,240 bottles, the 2016 Barolo Cerretta takes that Nebbiolo purity and intensity up a significant notch, especially when you compare this cru to Schiavenza's classic Barolo and its Barolo made with fruit sourced across Serralunga d'Alba. You get a lot of expressive clarity here, with a pristine delivery that puts emphasis on wild berry fruits, blood orange, rusty earth and even a touch of bitter cacao. I love the manner in which all those aromas pile together in such a nicely layered manner.” – Monica Larner,
