Note di degustazione
Serralunga d’Alba. Very dark with orange rim. Savoury and minerally nose. Succulent fruit and a big mouthful of stalky tannin. Very young, very slow and lingering. Lots of concentration, but not overtly sweet. Elegant. Ends on a generous dose of tannin. Lay down. (WS)

The 2008 Barolo Cerretta impresses for its focus and energy. Sweet dark red cherries, flowers, mint and sweet herbs inform the somewhat stern yet expressive mid-palate. This is a focused, wiry Barolo loaded with energy and tension. The focused style is appealing, but the wine is going to need at least a few years in bottle.

Good deep red. Musky aromas of dark cherry, tar and dark chocolate. Sweeter and plusher than the basic Serralunga bottling, with a considerably finer-grained texture. Finishes ripe, dense and sweet, with big but ripe tannins and a building red cherry flavor. This needs time to harmonize its tannins but is built to age.
