Barolo Cerretta 2017

Description

Still red Barolo DOCG, 15% ABV, produced by Luigi Baudana (Vajra). 0.75 L bottle, 2017 vintage. A Barolo from Serralunga d'Alba, an expression of the terroir and the passion of the Baudana family, now entrusted to Vajra. Fermentation takes place primarily in large barrels, with a second submerged cap phase in the best vintages. Aromas of ripe cherries and raspberries emerge elegantly from the glass, enriched by notes of menthol and leather. A deep, vibrant ruby color, shifting to garnet at the rim. The palate is broad and refined, with elegant tannins and a great structure, balanced by a fresh acidity.

The origin of our cellar is lost in time. Baudana is the name of the family, the vineyard and the hamlet of Serralunga where it is located. The link between this land and the Baudana family is so ancient that it is shrouded in the mystery of time.

Luigi Baudana is one of the smallest wineries in Serralunga d'Alba. Located in the village of the same name, with its 2.6 hectares of vineyards "Luigi Baudana" is an authentic garagist expression of Barolo.

For over thirty years Luigi and Fiorina have been cultivating the Serralunga vineyards that have belonged to their family for five generations. The care for their land is reflected in the tenderness that unites them.

In January 2009, Luigi and Fiorina entrusted the Vajra family with the unique task of becoming the guardians of their family's history, name and vineyards. To perpetuate Luigi's legacy, learn from his experience and seek authenticity in every wine. Read more
