Barolo "Cerretta" Luigi Baudana 2018 (750 ml)

95 poena – Wine & Spirits

Tlo u vinogradu Cerretta sastoji se isključivo od formacije Lequio, nastale prije otprilike 12 miliona godina tokom Serravalijuma. Dominirano krečnjačkim stenama, ovo porijeklo daje vino neuporedive plemenitosti, sa složenim aromama, začinima i širokim, strogo strukturiranim ukusom koji se razvija u dugotrajan finiš. Vinogradi su sertifikovani kao održivi i organski.

Ovaj Barolo DOCG Cerretta je, naravno, 100% Nebbiolo – elegantan, ali snažan. Rubin-crveni grejp, zreli citrus, trešnja, kupina, sušene ruže, note tasmanskog bibera i nane sve zajedno „govore“ o krečnjacima Serralunge. Na nepcu je vino mineralno, sa nijansama Earl Grey čaja, ličija, cvijeta zove, kore narandže i veoma strukturisanim, ali istovremeno elegantnim taninima. Savršen je pratilac raskošnih jela poput dinstanog crvenog mesa, divljači ili jakih sireva. Takođe bi bio izvanredan uz jela sa crnim tartufima, gdje bi njegov karakter savršeno dopunio bogatstvo tartufa.

The soil of Cerretta is a pure Formazione di Lequio, formed approximately 12 million years ago in the Serravallian epoch. Dominated by calcareous limestones, this origin translates into a wine of incomparable pedigree, with complex aromatics, spices, and a broad and austere palate building into a long lasting finale.  The vineyards are sustainable and biologically certified.  

Comprised of 100% Nebbiolo, this Barolo DOCG Cerretta is elegant yet powerful.  Ruby red grapefruit, ripe citrus, cherry, blackberry, dried roses, Tasmanian pepper tones and mint notes, all speak “Serralunga limestones” in this wine. The palate is mineral, with hints of Earl Grey tea, litchi, elderflower, orange peel and very structured yet elegant tannins.  The wine is a perfect accompaniment of elaborate dishes such as braised red meats, game birds, or strong cheeses. It would also be exceptional with black truffle dishes, where its character will beautifully complement the richness of the truffles.
