Vigna Cerretta Barbera d'Alba
The 2021 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Cerretta is bright, focused and nervy. Blood orange, red cherry fruit, spice and mint all race across the palate. There's tremendous energy and tension running through the 2021. Vibrant saline notes round out the finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2024)

Brooding. Took the next day for it to show off its fruit. Darkly pigmented with stewed aromas. Rare treat.
