Tasting notes
The Ca' Rome' 2016 Barolo Cerretta opens to a deep ruby color and pretty aromatic intensity. The bouquet is authentic and pristine with wild berry aromas, blood orange, aniseed and campfire ash. There's even a cheerful hint of crushed white pepper that adds a zesty touch of spiciness to the finish. In the mouth, this wine is long and polished with lingering oak spice. Some 8,000 bottles were released.

The 2016 Barolo Cerretta is a dark, hulking wine, with plenty of muscle wrapped around a core of dark red and black fruit. Menthol, sage, licorice, spice and a range of balsamic inflections give the Cerretta its dark, brooding personality. The Cerretta comes across as more tannic and potent than the Rapèt. Accordingly, it needs a few years in bottle to be at its best, but I expect it will always be a rather hulking, rustic Barolo.
