Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2036, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2020

The 2016 Barolo Cerretta is a bold, racy wine. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, rose petal and sweet spice are all laced together. A touch of new oak works well here in shaping the wine without being overpowering. This is an especially gracious, mid-weight Barolo for Serralunga, but then again, that is the personality of Cerretta.

This wine is a true beauty. In this release of 5,240 bottles, the 2016 Barolo Cerretta takes that Nebbiolo purity and intensity up a significant notch, especially when you compare this cru to Schiavenza's classic Barolo and its Barolo made with fruit sourced across Serralunga d'Alba. You get a lot of expressive clarity here, with a pristine delivery that puts emphasis on wild berry fruits, blood orange, rusty earth and even a touch of bitter cacao. I love the manner in which all those aromas pile together in such a nicely layered manner.
