Tasting notes
Serralunga d'Alba. Just mid ruby. Compelling, complex and fine with minerals and raspberry with a hint of maraschino on the nose. Suave and elegant and concentrated all at the same time and with beautifully sculpted chewy tannins. Simply gorgeous. Ready now but will hold. (WS)

Love the delicacy and the power, the thirst-quenching beauty of this wine, with liqourice root, rose petals and autumnal red fruits. Such depth and quality, spellbinding texture, tannin quality and grip. Classic Cerretta cru, structured and powerful but delicate, needs time in bottle to fully uncurl. The first year on the Place for a wine that was started in 1994 by Davide Rosse, using vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba that had been owned by his family for years but sold to other producers. 6.5ha. Winemaker Andrea Delpiano. Ageing in 25hl or 50hl French oak casks from Fontainebleau forest.
