From one of Barolo’s most revered producers, Giacomo Conterno’s Barolo Cerretta 2017 is a wine of both depth and finesse, showcasing the full potential of Nebbiolo from the Cerretta vineyard. With its combination of power and elegance, this wine reflects Conterno’s mastery in expressing the true character of Barolo.
The nose opens with rich aromas of dark berries—blackberry, plum, and black cherry—intertwined with delicate floral notes of dried rose and violet. As the wine evolves, earthy undertones of tobacco, leather, and spice emerge, adding layers of complexity. On the palate, the wine is structured and full-bodied, with firm tannins that offer both power and a smooth mouthfeel. The acidity is balanced, lifting the fruit while adding freshness to the wine. The finish is long, with lingering dark fruit and a mineral edge that reflects the unique terroir of Cerretta.
Ideal for pairing with roasted meats, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses, Barolo Cerretta 2017 is already a pleasure to drink but will continue to evolve beautifully over the next decade. This Barolo has the structure and depth to age for years, revealing even more complexity with time. A perfect example of Giacomo Conterno’s legacy, this wine offers both immediate enjoyment and the potential for further development.
