Red
Cerretta
By Claudio Alario, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Added to the range from the 2022 vintage, also from the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba. The soil, rich in limestone and silt, gives the wine a solid, robust style.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with garnet highlights. Full, intense bouquet of ripe fruit. Full, enveloping palate with a long, persistent finish.
