Elio Altare, Barolo docg Cerretta Vigna Bricco Riserva 2018

Der 2018 Barolo Riserva Cerretta Vigna Bricco ist ein großer, kraftvoller Wein. Er riecht nach schwarzen Früchten, Pflaumen, Rauch, Tabak und Lakritze. Am Gaumen ist er kräftig, saftig, gehaltvoll und lang. Insgemsamt übt der Barolo Druck aus. Diese Riserva verdient noch ein paar Jahre im Keller.

"The Elio Altare 2018 Barolo Riserva Cerretta (with fruit from the Vigna Bricco) has lots of dark blackberry that is complemented by spicy oak, all to large effect. That oak continues to the palate and the tannins (mostly oak tannins) with toasted spice, nutmeg and vanilla bean. The fruit condition is good, and subtle signs of evolution have begun. Only 4,200 bottles were made." Monica Larner - Robert Parker

"The 2018 Barolo Riserva Cerretta Vigna Bricco is a big, powerful wine that shows all the breadth of Serralunga. Black cherry, smoke, tobacco, gravel, licorice and incense open to reveal a Barolo of tremendous depth and resonance. The Cerretta obviously stands out clearly in this range because of its size, but it all works so well. The 2018 is still coming together nicely. It holds tremendous promise." Antonio Galloni - Vinous
