"A classic wine focused on finesse. Restrained and elegant nose of sweet violets, strawberries and aromatic herbs. The palate shows a full body, velvety tannins, crisp, integrated acidity and a chewy, savory finish. Best after 2026."

"The 2021 Barolo Cerretta, Revello's sole wine outside La Morra, is redolent of dark fruit, leather, incense, licorice, scorched earth and gravel. Ample and quite potent, the 2021 will benefit from a few years in bottle. It is the darkest and most somber of the Revello Barolos."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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)"

"An elegant red marked by cherry candy, strawberry, hibiscus and rose aromas and flavors. Firmly structured, with a tightly wound feel on the lingering finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 225 cases made, 68 cases imported."

"The 2019 Barolo Cerretta, Revello's one wine from Serralunga, packs plenty of punch. The flavors are richer and darker than in the La Morra Barolos. Black cherry, incense, gravel, smoke, cured meats and licorice add to an impression of somber intensity. Give this strapping Barolo a few years to soften."
