Why We're Buying
Giacomo Conterno Barolo Cerretta is class incarnate. Even as a young wine, it wields tremendous finesse with velvety tannins that wrap around a spiced red fruit core. The estate only produces this Barolo in limited quantities, making it one of the region's most coveted investments.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tasted from barrel, the Giacomo Conterno 2018 Barolo Cerretta is shaping up to be a beauty. What stands out most at this very young stage is the quality and the elegant tightness of the tannins. Cerretta fruit from Serralunga d'Alba makes for powerful, structured and concentrated Nebbiolo that is delivered with naked clarity and outstanding purity. These qualities are clearly linked to the vineyard site and less to the conservative efforts executed at the winery. You taste the crunch or the nervous quality of the grape skins and pulp with dark and purple berry nuances and rusty or mineral overtones that hint at the more significant presence of clay in these soils.
