"A fine, fruity expression here with ripe strawberries, red cherries, stones, hibiscus and a touch of white pepper. Firm, with a fine splash of minerality that syncs with the broad, chalky tannins. Drink from 2026."

"Serralunga d'Alba. Mid ruby. Rich cherry nose with a peppery tingle. Bags of juicy fruit on the palate and quite a bit of stubborn tannin. A big wine that needs further age. (WS)"

"Dark red/magenta in color, the 2020 Barolo Cerretta boasts a darker but equally well-layered profile, with notes of black cherries, tar, licorice, crushed rosemary, and lavender. Full-bodied, it is more savory on the palate, with gripping tannins and a more broad-shouldered feel. It is grippy and grounding with dark minerals and savory tea leaf. Drink 2026-2046."

"The 2020 Barolo Cerretta is a powerful, somber wine. Black cherry, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice and leather are all amplified in this decidedly intense Serralunga Barolo. I would give this a year or two in bottle."

"Captivating aromas of crushed red fruits and pretty floral notes greet the nose. The palate reveals darker fruit flavors of blackberries and plums, with a subtle hint of campfire. Mouthwatering and drying, this Barolo showcases a firm structure supporting powerful flavors, creating a compelling balance between grace and strength. Drink 2025–2040. . —J.P."
