Here's a new submission from Prunotto made with fruit from one of the best-performing MGA sites in Serralunga d'Alba. The 2018 Barolo Cerretta makes good use of that fruit, but my feeling is that we can expect more of this wine in future vintages to come. This edition is soft and lean in texture with bright aromas of redcurrant, bramble and wildflower. There is a distant hint of earth and rust as well. However, the wine is not especially complex or lasting at this point in time.

Elegant yet solidly built, exhibiting steeped cherry, strawberry, floral, menthol and mineral aromas and flavors. Harmonious, this red is charming and interprets the vintage well. Already approachable, yet this will continue to develop over the next decade-plus. Best from 2025 through 2039.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
