2018 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Cerretta 750ml

Reviews: 95-97 points Wine Advocate, "Cerretta fruit from Serralunga d'Alba makes for powerful, structured and concentrated Nebbiolo that is delivered with naked clarity and outstanding purity. These qualities are clearly linked to the vineyard site and less to the conservative efforts executed at the winery. You taste the crunch or the nervous quality of the grape skins and pulp with dark and purple berry nuances and rusty or mineral overtones that hint at the more significant presence of clay in these soils. (ML)" 93 points Vinous, "Lavender, rose petal, mint, dried flowers, licorice and blood orange are nicely woven together. The 2018 is an attractive wine to be sure, but it also shows the nervy, edgy style of the year. (AG)"
