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
Vinous
The 2016 Barolo Cerretta is an incredibly elegant wine, so much so that opening a bottle now is far from a crime. That may sound heretical, but it’s a good example of how finessed young Barolo can be when it gets the kind of care it has here. It’s also important to note that while Cerretta is in Serralunga, this pocket of vineyards is more similar to those in La Morra in terms of geology, so the wines are correspondingly much more approachable in their youth. Silky tannins wrap around a core of bright red berry fruit, spice and floral notes in a pliant, mid-weight Barolo that is all class.
