Brandini Barolo Cerretta 2019
In the glass, this Barolo Cerretta displays a captivating deep red color that immediately catches the eye. Its regal appearance is further complemented by the classic cork closure, which signifies the respect for age-old winemaking techniques.
Upon the first swirl, intoxicating aromas fill the air, transporting you to the heart of the Piedmont countryside. Plums, smoke, and a hint of truffle dance together, creating a symphony of scents that entice the senses. It is a bouquet that exudes richness and decadence, a true testament to the vineyard site from which it originates.
On the palate, this Barolo Cerretta showcases its true potential. Full-bodied and robust, it caresses your taste buds with ripe, round tannins that provide a luxurious mouthfeel. The flavors of plump strawberries and crushed morello cherries take center stage, accompanied by notes of licorice and tobacco that add depth and complexity. The bright acidity brings youthful tension, ensuring a harmonious balance that will only improve with age.
Renowned wine critic James Suckling awarded this vintage an impressive 94 points. He describes it as a "beauty already" but advises waiting a few more years to allow the tannins to soften. Wine Enthusiast, on the other hand, bestowed a remarkable 96 points upon this wine, praising its savory and vibrant nature, as well as its refined tannins.
Critical Acclaim
96 Wine Enthusiast
Forest berry, underbrush, iris, rose and camphor waft out of the glass. Savory, vibrant and expressive, the polished, structured palate delivers strawberry compote, crushed morello cherry, licorice and tobacco alongside firm, refined tannins. Bright acidity generates youthful tension.
94 James Suckling
This is very typical for the vineyard site with richness and almost decadence . Plums, smoke, meat and some truffle undertones. Full-bodied with ripe, round tannins and a flavorful finish. A beauty already, but needs two or three years to soften.
