Giovanni Rosso Barolo Ceretta 2019

After 30 to 36 months in big oak casks, this 2019 vintage of one of Serralunga's most celebrated MGAs shines for its restrained nose of Parma violets, wild strawberry, orange juice and a super-intense, stunning rhubarb root character. It's floral as well on the palate, elegant and refined, very classic, with polished, velvety tannins that are dusty on the finish. The structure defies time here; the potential is great. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2050, 96 POINTS, DECANTER

The 2019 Barolo Cerretta is an attractive red with a supple perfume and a balanced sheen and purity. It displays elegance and grace, though it still has great Serrralunga structure. With the ripe, sweet tannins that are characteristic of these wines. This is a really wonderful wine that can be drunk now or over the next 15 to 20 years. 96 POINTS, JEB DUNNUCK
