The 2020 Luigi Baudana Barolo Cerretta is a distinguished single-vineyard Barolo from the renowned Cerretta cru in Serralunga d'Alba, one of Piedmont's most respected growing areas. Produced by Luigi Baudana under the stewardship of the Vajra family, this wine showcases the depth, structure and precision that have made Cerretta one of Barolo's benchmark sites. Aromas of red cherry, rose petals, blood orange and wild berries are layered with notes of spice, dried herbs and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is powerful yet beautifully refined, with vibrant acidity and firm, finely structured tannins supporting flavours of sour cherry, red plum and savoury spice. The texture is concentrated and elegant, leading to a long, dry finish with remarkable persistence, mineral detail and ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barolo for collectors and Nebbiolo enthusiasts seeking a serious single-vineyard expression from Serralunga d'Alba. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar over the next 15–20 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with braised beef, lamb shanks, truffle dishes, game meats and aged hard cheeses.
