Luigi Baudana Barolo Cerretta 2018 Bottle size: 750ml
Italy, Piedmont
R1,350
‘The 2018 Barolo Cerretta offers good focus with a sharp and linear style that gives way to forest berry, wild rose, rusty nail and crushed stone. The wine is extremely direct, and that's what sets it apart. In that sense, this wine is faithful to the characteristics of Serralunga d'Alba. The soils of Cerretta see a layer of white marl on the surface and red clay further down; that's where those rusty sensations must come from. 2024-2038’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 94/100
‘Offers cut grass and hay aromas that mingle with flavors of cherry, strawberry, tamarind and underbrush. Tightly wound tannins grip the finish, leaving a chewy impression. Packs plenty of fruit, with fine equilibrium in the end.’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100
‘Bright red fruit and a nut-cream note on the nose. Medium-bodied with very fine, firm tannins and a long, intense finish. Solid and focused.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 92/100
