Barolo Cerretta

Full

Cork

Made since 2014, the Cerretta brings together two plots: one with a southeast exposure, the other southwest. A long maceration of 40 to 45 days is followed by ageing in second and third-use French oak tonneaux. The 2022 is a bit less oak driven than previous releases. Nonetheless, sweet spice notes prevail. Nutmeg and star anise with rosemary and sage all sit atop cherry preserves. Citrussy acidity gives a playful friskiness. Grainy tannins are neatly woven in. An appealing twist of bitter cocoa on the backend. Not profound but well put together.
