Luigi Baudana Barolo Cerretta 2019 (750ML)

97 VM / 96 KO / 95 WA / 17.5 JR

The 2019 Barolo Cerretta is packed with dark cherry, smoke, gravel, blood orange incense, scorched earth, licorice and mocha. This ample, full-bodied Barolo offers tremendous depth and textural intensity. Powerful and brooding, with tons of muscle and tannin, the Cerretta is incredibly promising. It is the most potent wine in this portfolio, by a pretty substantial range.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

The Luigi Baudana 2019 Barolo Cerretta is an open-knit and powerful expression of Nebbiolo from one of the best sites in Serralunga d'Alba. Cerretta is a large MGA vineyard to the north of the village, with Baudana on the hillside to the west and Prapò to the south. This wine offers volume and richness in terms of mouthfeel, with fleeting aromas of wild berry, iris and crushed rose.-Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

Serralunga d’Alba. Mid-to-deep ruby. At first, balsamic and peppery dark-cherry and leather nose that slowly increases in depth and complexity with aeration. Lots of juicy, compact cherry fruit on the palate, fantastically balanced by bags of chewy tannins. Very long, juicy and tannic and quite spectacular.-Walter Speller, JancisRobinson
