The 2018 Barolo Cerretta comes across as a touch linear in this vintage. Then again, that is the style of the year. Lavender, rose petal, mint, dried flowers, licorice and blood orange are nicely woven together. The 2018 is an attractive wine to be sure, but it also shows the nervy, edgy style of the year.

The 2018 Barolo Cerretta is a very pretty wine. Sweet, perfumed aromatics and beams of nervous tannin give the 2018 its focused personality. There is good energy and vibrancy here, if not quite the mid-palate pliancy that is typical. The 2018 is shaping up to be a decidedly understated Cerretta.
