Elio Altare, Barolo docg Cerretta Vigna Bricco 2012

Der Barolo Cerretta 2012 hat Persönlichkeit, Intensität in der Farbe und ein robuster Charakter. Hier Komplexität und Finesse sind in Einem vereint. In der Nase Pflaumen, dunkle Beeren, Trüffel und Tabak. Im Gaumen saftig und intensiv, mit füllender Wärme, Mineralität und langem Ende.

"The 2012 Barolo Cerretta Vigna Bricco shows the darker, more powerful side of Nebbiolo that is so typical of Serralunga. Deep, explosive and brooding in style, the 2012 offers plenty of heft and richness, along with intense color and enough structure to drink well for a number of years. Here, too, the finessed, refined personality of the vintage comes through loud and clear. Next to the best wines in this range, the Cerretta is a bit blowsy, but it makes up for some of that with its generous, enveloping personality." Antonio Galloni

"This is the first vintage in which this wine is being released as a Riserva. The 2012 Barolo Riserva Cerretta shows the depth, bounty and power that is almost always associated with Nebbiolo from the Serralunga d'Alba township. The wine reminds us that 2012 was characterized by a hot growing season and scorching summer. You can taste that extra fruit blackness or ripeness as a result. The mouthfeel also shows a good dose of soft succulence that enhances and widens the extremely focused and streamlined Nebbiolo taste profile." Monica Larner - Robert Parker
