December 18, 2021 - Red - a hint of brown. Transluscent. Spice on the nose - red fruit and a star anise note. Sweet red fruits. Lovely integrated oak. Light caramel. Nice acidity. Spice - star anise. Touch of clove. Very long. Still lightly chalky tannins.
92-93
March 27, 2020 - Weirdly dull this time. Must be a faulty bottle.
October 12, 2019 - Sweet red berries. Fresh and elegant. Uplifting. Tannic grip, but clearly in the window - where it will remain for 8-10 years. I paid 45 USD - a bargain!
December 16, 2018 - Only had this one bottle in my cellar - and I am already crying for more. What a beauty, drinking so well right now. Seducing aromas. Christmas cake spices, roses and an oceans of red and dark berries welcomes you. Nothing new - Cerretta juice from A - Z, wrapped in leather, tobacco, liquorice and accommodating ripe tannins. Almost elegant in some aspects, despite the hot vintage. A true star - and I´ll definitely monitor Giovannis work from now on. A lot of people had concerns about the Barolo 2011´s when the wines were released, but they all drink so well now. So charming and inviting.
April 27, 2018 - Stored 2 years. Fresh, intense and complex. Long aftertaste. Quite smooth tannins. Drank without food, but pairs well with venison and red meat.
February 24, 2018 - Korket
September 8, 2015 - BBR Italy tasting. Wonderful uplifting nose of sweet red fruit. Clean, pure fruit dominates and with tannins ripe and fine. Save a couple of years to improve an already brilliant wine. 94-96p
