Germano Ettore - Serralunga d'Alba, Piemonte
Barolo Cerretta, D.O.C.G.
100% Nebbiolo. 9000 bottles produced. Vines planted in 1978 with southeastern exposure. The soil consists of limestone and heavy clay, and the grapes are harvested during the second half of October. Then the wine is transferred to 225 and 500-liter French oak barrels, new or used at most for two years, where its maturation is completed in at least 24 months. The wine is then bottle-aged for 15-18 months before being offered for sale. Red garnet with orange tints in color, its bouquet shows scents of ripe fruit and vanilla that change into leather, tobacco and cassis after more years in the bottle. Its firm structure has a marked, though very soft tannic quality that allows for it's aging in small barrels. It leaves the mouth clean with an intense persistence.
