The 2017 Luigi Baudana Barolo Cerretta, from a warmer vintage, is expected to offer an intense aromatic profile of ripe red cherries, tart cranberries, and dried rose petals, seamlessly interwoven with classic Nebbiolo notes of tar, licorice, and a distinct minerality. On the palate, it will be full-bodied with firm, structured tannins typical of Cerretta, balanced by a vibrant acidity that carries the complex flavors. Expect savory undertones of leather, truffle, and balsamic, leading to a long, powerful, and persistent finish with a pleasant grippy texture.
