Elio Altare "Cerretta" Barolo 2009
"The 2009 Barolo Cerretta is not a Riserva, but it is released six years
after the harvest. Fruit comes from a 4,000-square-meter parcel near the
Bricco Cerretta hamlet in Serralunga d'Alba that is shaped like a
little mound with excellent exposures on its various sides. This wine
shows an excellent sense of balance with beautiful freshness and
aromatic intensity that still feels youthful and vibrant. It offers
seamless endnotes of wild berry, balsam herb and toasted almond. This
wine will hold strong for many more years to come."
