2016 Wine EnthusiastRose, red-berry, camphor and dark-spice aromas slowly emerge in the glass. Showing Serralunga’s hallmark of firm structure and finesse, the fullbodied, youthfully tense palate delivers juicy red cherry, raspberry compote, dried mint and licorice set against a backbone of noble tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced. Drink 2026– 2056

2016 Vinous MediaThe 2016 Barolo Cerretta is another impressive wine from Davide Rosso. Ample and resonant in the glass, with terrific freshness, the Cerretta captures all the best the vintage has to offer. Sweet red berry fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, wild flowers and mint emerge from the glass, but only with some reluctance. Time really brings out the wine's textural depth nicely. I would give the 2016 a few years in bottle.

2015 Wine SpectatorBroad, featuring plum, cherry, tar
and woodsy flavors, embraced by
the dense structure. Tightly packed
now, this stays fresh and focused as
the finish unwinds. Best from 2023
through 2042. 500 cases made, 50

2014 Wine Advocate“From one of the most celebrated
crus in Serralunga d’Alba, the 2014
Barolo Cerretta reveals a delicate
but firm personality with pretty,
intermingled notes of wild berries
and fresh violets. This wine is still
very much in a state of primaryfruit intensity with pretty brightness
and glossy inner shine. This wine
speaks to the most fruit-driven side
of the vintage.”Shelf TalkerFull Review
