Serralunga d’Alba. Hints of richness on the nose with notes of dried fruit. Plush fruit cut through by succulent, almost linear acidity and a layer of fine powdery tannins. (WS)

The 2015 Barolo Cerretta is a dark, potent wine that captures all the brooding, virile intensity that is so typical of Serralunga. A blast of dark cherry, tobacco, smoke, licorice, grilled herbs, menthol and pine punctuates this decidedly structured, imposing Barolo. Give the 2015 a few years to come into its own. The 2015 is promising.
Serralunga d’Alba. Seductive nose with just a touch of oak over ripe cherry fruit. Crunchy raspberry and cherry palate with elegant weight and almost floral and aromatic on the finish. Long, coating tannins and the whole is finely balanced by acidity. (WS)
The Giovanni Rosso estate makes some very pretty wines from the Serralunga d'Alba subzone in the Barolo appellation. This classic wine, the 2015 Barolo, provides a good introduction to the distinct taste profile shared by the two single-vineyard wines, Cerretta and Serra, also reviewed here. However, this wine hails from the warm and sunny 2015 vintage and supplies a greater kick of soft cherry fruit and rich concentration when compared to the more streamlined, long-term 2016 vintage. Those dark primary fruit aromas, the acidity and the tannic imprint are all beautifully measured to the enhanced intensity of this pretty and well-priced 2015 Barolo.
