"Molto aperto ricorda di fiori rossi appassiti e tante amarene sotto spirito. Corpo medio, perfettamente fusi ed un finale cremoso e davvero succoso che chiede di tornare al calice. Un vino multiforme che gioca sul filo del rasoio con l'acidità volatile. Bevi ora o invecchia."

"Underbrush, blue flower and new leather aromas form the nose. Tightly wound and youthfully austere, the firmly structured palate features blood orange, pomegranate and licorice alongside assertive, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. It closes on a tobacco note. Drink 2027-2042. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Funkelndes Rubin mit feinem Granatschimmer. Eröffnet mit Noten nach schwarzer Trüffel, dann Hagebutte, Preiselbeere und Zwetschke, im Hintergrund nach Blutorange. Zupackendes, herzhaftes Tannin, breitet sich satt aus, warm und rund, feine Himbeerfrucht."

"Leuchtendes Granatrot mit aufhellendem Rand. Etwas verhangene Nase nach Teer und Jod, dahinter satt nach reifen Zwetschken. Herzhaft und zupackend am Gaumen, viel griffiges Tannin, die Frucht bleibt aber etwas im Hintergrund."

"Rose, red-berry, camphor and dark-spice aromas slowly emerge in the glass. Showing Serralunga's hallmark of firm structure and finesse, the full-bodied, 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. Kerin O'Keefe"

"(2020) The Cerretta vineyard sits between 320 and 450 metres altitude, on limestone and clay soils. This cuvée spends three years in large French oak 'botti'. Deep ruby with a softening on the rim, this is polished and refined on the nose, a graphite and pencil-shaving precision and elegance, notes of fine herbs, a touch of bloodiness and discreet red fruits. In the mouth it's a gorgeous wine, powerful and dense in terms of concentration and texture, but edged by supple tannins and cherry-pit dry acidity that gives a cool, very precise feel. The fruit is sweet and smoothly supple too, but there's a restrained grip and serious intent here, in a baby Barolo that will cellar for decades without a doubt. Available from September 2020."

"Red berry, eucalyptus, new leather and tobacco aromas lift out of the glass. On the taut palate, firm, fine-grained tannins support tart cherry, blood orange, rusty nail and licorice. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced, but this needs more time to fully develop. Drink 2025-2035. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Aromas of Mediterranean herbs, hay, leather and red berry come together in this structured Barolo. Loaded with energy and intensity, it delivers creamy cherry-berry flavors layered with white pepper, clove, nutmeg and orange zest. It already has depth but needs time to develop complexity. Drink after 2022."

"From the Serralunga d'Alba area of Barolo known for its structured and powerful wines comes this feminine and delicate expression from the Cerretta cru that is redolent of blue flowers, light spice, licorice and dried mint. The wine is plush, rich and spicy on the close but not in an exaggerated way."

"The nose is flowery and offers a fine richness/concentration. It reveals notes of strawberry, violet and rose associated with fine touches of wild blackberry as well as discreet hints of nutmeg and sweet spices. The palate is fruity, juicy and offers minerality and a good definition. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, fresh strawberry, fresh raspberry, small notes of crushed/fresh cherry associated with small touches of sweet spices, caramelization and very discreet hints of nutmeg/sugared mild tobacco. Good length."
