"The 2013 Barolo Riserva Cerretta shows a lot of freshness and boldness. It's a gorgeous wine, tight, light and uncluttered. It shows generous volume. The wine finishes with lingering notes of earth, rust and dusty marble. The tannins are solid and complete. A job well done" (Wine Advocate 2019 - Monica Larner)

About the wine:
This was the last Barolo we tasted from the Altare range, organized by increasing the measure of intensity and power, well, it was a treat. Harvested on October 11, at the Serralunga d'Alba vineyard, the 2013 Barolo Riserva Cerretta shows plenty of freshness and boldness. It's a gorgeous wine, tight, light and uncluttered. It shows generous volume. The wine finishes with lingering notes of earth, rust and dusty marble. The tannins are solid and complete. A job well done!
