Critics reviews
The 2013 Barolo Cerretta shows that exuberant fruit that is so prominent in this vintage. Fruit was harvested two weeks later than average towards the end of October. This gave the Nebbiolo grape ample time to develop its aromatic nuance and intensity.
The Cerretta vineyard is higher than average at 400 meters above sea level, and that altitude has further helped to prolong the growing season something the Nebbiolo grape loves). The site has more clay in the soil, and vines are up to 20 years old.
There is a point of ripe cherry or sweet blackberry on the close. Behind the primary fruit is a pretty succession of tar, campfire smoke and hazelnut aromas. This wine will be bottled in June.

The 2013 Barolo Cerretta is the most complete wine Roberto Conterno has made since he acquired this site in 2008. Crazy aromatics make a strong opening impression. Rose petals, mint, sweet tobacco and liquorice overtones develop in a captivating, hauntingly seductive Barolo.
Constantly changing in the glass, the 2013 is mesmerizingly beautiful. Supporting beams of tannin carry the flavours through to the finish. The 2013 Cerretta is stunningly beautiful in every way. Don't miss it.
