Azelia’s Barolo Cerretta 2021, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, presents a complex and evolving aromatic profile even in its youth. On the nose, expect primary notes of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and crushed rose petals, intertwined with classic Nebbiolo characteristics of tar, licorice, and a hint of forest floor. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, driven by high acidity and firm, structured tannins that are typical of a young Barolo from a prestigious cru like Cerretta. Flavors echo the nose with red fruit intensity, savory spice, and a mineral undertone. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of fruit, earth, and formidable tannic grip.
