Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo
Owned by the Rosso family since 1920, the plot was partly replanted in 1984 and 2000. Situated about 2 miles (3km) to the north of Serralunga village, Cerretta lies close to the hamlet of Baudana and envelops that of Cerretta.The fruit for this Cru wine comes from the best parcel which is shaped like an amphitheatre facing south-east.

It's a little spicier than other Chassagne Villages, with touches of quince and white pepper on the finish. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.” Neal Martin, Vinous 89 PointsA touch of matchstick charac
