Luigi Baudana's 2020 Barolo Cerretta, from the prestigious Cerretta cru in Serralunga d'Alba, embodies the power of Nebbiolo. This family estate's vineyards, with calcareous clay soils, yield structured, age-worthy wines. The 2020 vintage, with ideal weather, produced exceptional grapes. Aromas of dark cherry, dried herbs, and balsamic notes precede a palate with robust tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of blackberry, licorice, and earthy minerality lead to a long, complex finish. Pair with braised beef, game, or aged hard cheeses for a classic Piedmontese culinary experience.
