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
James Suckling
This shows such power and richness, yet it remains polished and silky. Deep from the beginning, on the nose there are mushrooms, some sweet tobacco, opulent dark fruit, meat, black olives and earth. It's full-bodied, dense and surrounded by ultra-refined tannins. Goes on for minutes. This is the first Barolo from here and will only be bottled in 2000 magnums. From 20-year-old vines bought in 2008. It's a beautiful wine to taste now but will be so much better in 2017 and onwards.
Vinous
A much more overt, powerful wine, the 2010 Barolo Cerretta races across the palate with explosive fruit and tons of pure, unbridled energy. The Cerretta is an immediate, voluptuous wine with so much fruit that the tannins of the vintage are nearly buried. It will be fascinating to see how Conterno's 2010s age. The Cerretta is shaping up to be magical. Bottled only in magnums.
