Cerretta Barolo 2021 Giacomo Conterno

Professional reviews

Vinous (95)

The 2021 Barolo Cerretta is the most approachable of Conterno's 2021 Barolos. It seems to offer a bit less overall dimension and complexity than the other Barolos and, therefore, more complete balance of its components in the early going that should allow it to start opening with a few years in bottle. There's plenty of underlying nervy structure, and yet the Cerretta is not quite as imposing as its siblings in this range. Floral and spice overtones gradually open with a bit of aeration.

Falstaff (99)

Bright, elegant ruby red. Fragrant on the nose, with aromas of potpourri, ripe raspberry ripe peach, watermelon, hints of cinchona bark, mint and sage, subtle stony tones. Great attack on the palate, fine creamy fruit, embedded in tightly woven tannins and a very long finish.
