Elio Altare, Barolo docg Cerretta Vigna Bricco 2011

Die Lage Cerretta zeigt in 2011 wieder seinen robusten, maskulinen Charakter. Ein Barolo mit Druck, Tannin und Säure. In der Nase dunkle Beeren, Pflaumen, Erde, Eisen, Trüffel und Tabak. Im Gaumen Kraft, füllende Wärme, Mineralität und wahnsinniges langes Ende. Ein Wein mit Persönlichkeit und Rückgrat. Ideal zum Lagern!

"The 2011 Barolo Bricco Cerretta stands apart from the other wines in this range because of its Serralunga origins and pure size. Mocha, plum, spice, leather, smoke and red cherries meld together in an effortless, powerful Barolo with structure to burn. Dark, sepia-toned nuances continue to emerge as this plush Barolo blossoms in the glass. Broad swaths of tannin power the substantial finish. The 2011 is one of the best wines the Altare family has made from their parcel in Cerretta." Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"In January 2016, the Altare family purchased the 900-square-meter plot in Serralunga d'Alba that makes this wine. They had been renting it since 2000, and average annual bottle production is around 6,000 units. The 2011 Barolo Cerretta Vigna Bricco is a dark, layered and exuberant Nebbiolo. You really smell the earth here with truffle, rust, dried blood and iron. The core of the wine is fitted with thick layers of black fruit. This is a muscular and powerful rendition to put in the cellar." Monica Larner - Robert Parker
