Giacomo Conterno 'Cerretta', Barolo DOCG, Italy 2021

Barolo “Cerretta” DOCG 2021 is a powerful, single-vineyard expression from one of Piedmont’s most revered producers. Sourced from the historic Cerretta cru in Barolo, this 2021 Barolo combines intense fruit presence with the structure and complexity that define the estate’s style. Expect rich layers of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry and plum framed by fragrant rose petal, sweet spice, and earthy underbrush. On the palate it’s robust yet refined, with firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that guide a long, layered finish. Cerretta is built for cellaring but shows early allure, making it a standout choice for collectors and lovers of expressive, terroir-driven Barolo.

"The 2021 Barolo Cerretta is fabulous and finessed. Black cherry fruit, graphite, spice, lavender and dried herbs are some of the many notes that build over time. The 2021 has a ton of muscle, power and breadth. It also needs at least a few years in bottle to be at its finest." Vinous 95
