Elio Altare - Barolo Cerreta 2013

96+/100

Robert Parker

ready to drink

"The 2013 Barolo Riserva Cerretta shows great freshness and boldness. It is a magnificent wine, tight, light, and refined. It shows generous volume. The wine finishes with lingering notes of earth, rust, and dusty marble. The tannins are solid and complete. Beautiful work!" (Wine Advocate 2019 - Monica Larner)

About wine:

This was the last Barolo we tasted in the Altare range, organized in order of increasing intensity and power, and it was a real treat. Harvested on October 11 at the Serralunga d'Alba vineyard, the 2013 Barolo Riserva Cerretta shows great freshness and boldness. It is a magnificent wine, tight, light, and refined. It shows generous volume. The wine finishes with lingering notes of earth, rust, and dusty marble. The tannins are solid and complete. Well done!
