2008 Luigi Baudana Barolo Cerretta

Nebbiolo more

4/1/2014 - Jack O'Brien wrote: 100 points

I am beginning to think that Cerretta is the heart and soul of Barolo because this vineyard, for me is the paragon of Barolo. This wine is amazing. Let me repeat; amazing. A transcendent and religious experience to taste this wine at the Vajra estate.

2010 Barolo at La Festa del Barolo (Four Seasons Restaurant, NYC): Roberto Conterno says this will be sold only in magnums and 3 liter bottles to commemorate the first vintage labeled Barolo by Conterno from this vineyard. He did bottle some 750s for tastings, which is what we are tasting today. Stunning nose of roses, black fruit, and tar. Dark, powerful, complex, expansive on the long finish. Just wow! Really blows everything before it out of the water. Later with lunch, just fucking great! 97-99

PnP, served at 55 degrees. Chalk, limestone, crazy viscosity, chewy. Maraschino cherries, hint of raspberry. Light floral and dark earth notes. Coats the mouth, finish evoles across the palate and lingers forever. Thought this would be good, was blown away. Highest score I've ever given a Barolo - not a feminine, austere Barolo, this is huge and beyond delicious.

Festa dal Barolo 2019 Masterclass (The Pool, Manhattan): Festa dal Barolo Masterclass

Deeper more savory nose than the Baudana with dark nebbiolo fruit, cured meat, tar, nettle, and balsam. Fantastically deep nose like looking into a bottomless pool of water. Texturally brilliant. Structured, powerful, expansive, sapid and deep yet elegant. Iron fist in a velvet glove. This combines fruit, soil, meaty and savory into a terrific whole. Long on the back end with mountain medicinal herbs. Terrific. Complete 98

With Stephanie, Erin, and Roberto

Lung filling nose of violets, tar, balsam and cool nebbiolo fruit. Terrific perfume. This has weightless intensity. Iron fist in a velvet glove. Structured and beautifully poised. Red and blue fruits, mountain herbs, licorice. In spite of its size, there's an inner calm and sense of effortless. A jewel like clarity and detail. Finishes with firm ripe tannins. Fantastic.

This is a dark and layered bueaty of a wine, showing crushed stone, black cherry, dried roses, and exotic spice. With time in the glass it gained depth, adding rich raspberry, hints of moist soil and truffle. Displaying mineral-driven, silky textures contrasted by a core of vibrant acidity on the palate. Black cherry, licorice, sweet herbs and menthol all flowed effortlessly across the senses. It finished on fine tannin with dried cherry and inner floral tones lingering long.

The first glass after opening is just fabulous. This is also true for a glass, which has rested for 1-2 hours. Otherwise this is quite tannic and really needs time.
A mix of tar, licorice and roses. Dense and sweet and once in a while with a lovely lightness. This should be great in 5-10 years. Scored on glimpses of greatness.

Testing with Isi

Cooler fruit than the Baudana bottling. The nose is deeper yet more lifted with terrific floral fruit ad spice. More structured and sapid than the Baudana. It's deeper, yet more focused with fantastic balance. Expansive yet graceful and elegant. Fantastic. Long. Firm ripe tannins. I love this wine. Fantastic.

Vinous 2019 Barolo Masterclass (The Pool Restaurant, NYC): [Roberto said that this is the only single vineyard Barolo he will produce in 2019. All the Francia and Arione went into the 2019 Monfortino.]
The difference between these two Cerretta wines was subtle. The purity of fruit in the Conterno was just a bit more precise and intense, but the similarities were far greater. Given that this wine is about four times the price of the Baudana Cerretta, I would go for the Baudana.

12/2/2023 - Caruso Likes this wine: 97 points

Ruby, still quite intensely coloured at least for a nebbiolo based wine, with orange hue in thin layers. The nose deliveres right from the start without airing scents of smoke, tar, dark fruits, roses, celery, cherries and pine. On the palate it shows a great balance of fruit, acids and tannins. Already quite smooth. With more time, maybe 30 minutes in the glass it gets more intensety, nose as palate. Extended airing over hours from the bottle takes some of the nuances. This is ready to drink and should hold through for 10-15 more years before slow decline. 5/14/18/10. 98 points from Larner for the WA. -2038 Nearly extraordinary.

Tasted at Arroyo Vino Nebbiolo seminar. Richest and most complex of the wines tasted. Dark fruit aromas and flavors with anise notes and hints of new leather. Underlying minerality. Classic Barolo structure. Age worthy.

2016, Barolo Cerretta, Giacomo Conterno, Monforte d’Alba, Piemont, Italien (100% Nebbiolo von Lehm-, Eisen-, Phosphor- und Kalkböden. Östliche Ausrichtung auf 400 M.ü.M. 25 Tage Mazeration bei 32°, Ausbau während 48 Monaten in grossen Holzfässern aus slawonischer Eiche. 15% Alkohol, 5.8g/l Säure, 31g/l Trockenextrakt). Unglaublich expressiv, der Duft springt förmlich aus dem Glas, super floral, mit Kräutern, Veilchen, Tee, für mich eine absolute Nasendroge, ein Wein zum Eintauchen, zum Meditieren, zum Niederknien. Im Gaumen seidenweich, das ist eine Delikatesse, sondergleichen, ungemein präzis, verspielt, rotfruchtig und top strukturiert, die Tannine sind von höchster Güte, die wohl dosierte Säure belebt, dieser Wein hat ungemein viel Finesse und Präzision, eine Erhabenheit, die seinesgleichen sucht. Zeigt im Abgang eine ausgezeichnete Länge und viel Balance. Das ist grosses Barolo-Kino. Leider nicht günstig und auch nicht einfach zu erhalten, doch für mich jeden Cent wert. 2024-2048+, 96/100 vvPunkte. vvWine.ch

Big muscular wine that maintains some elegance and ability to pair well with food. Texturally thick and 15% alcohol shown. Sticky raspberry, anise, tar, and some minerality. Very layered with 3 simultaneous big punches in front, mid, and finish. Needs plenty of time in cellar to peak but definately made in a style that can be enjoyed early.

Super layered, explosive and perfumed, with notes of menthol, dark cherries, pine, some sweet spices, tobacco, tar, violets, black tea and some cedar wood. It‘s pretty full-bodied, with high acidity and medium-high tannin, that is exceptionally silky. Long finish with plenty of complexity. A superb Cerretta from one of Piemonte‘s legendary producers. This still has a long life ahead.
