Barolo Cerretta 2022

The Barolo DOCG "Cerretta" from the historic and eminent winery Giacomo Conterno (Monforte d'Alba) represents an extraordinary expression of power, depth and minerality, born in one of the most famous and renowned cru of Serralunga d'Alba. Purchased by Roberto Conterno in 2008, the Cerretta vineyard is characterized by marly-calcareous soils rich in ferruginous clay and active limestone, which give the Nebbiolo an imposing structural imprint, combined with a sip of extraordinary tension and aromatic vivacity.

The vinification follows the rigorous and uncompromising company philosophy: spontaneous fermentation and prolonged maceration with the submerged cap technique in large oak tuns, carried out without temperature control or selected yeasts. The wine then ages for about 48 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a long period of rest in the bottle before leaving the winery. The Barolo Cerretta by Giacomo Conterno reveals itself as an austere, balsamic, dense and finely crafted red, endowed with an impeccably crafted tannic texture and a multi-decade aging potential.
