Cerretta
By Giacomo Conterno, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Acquired in 2008, Cerretta sits on the opposite side of Serralunga d'Alba from Francia, adding a second distinct single-vineyard Barolo to the estate.
Tasting notes
Beautiful red fruit and rhubarb with a strong floral note. Structured and lifted on the palate, with smooth tannins and considerable ageing potential.
