Azelia Barolo Cerretta

Cerretta is a single-vineyard Barolo from 2.5 hectares in Serralunga d'Alba, planted with Nebbiolo vines around 35 years old. The family waited almost 30 years to vinify this vineyard on its own, until the vines were old enough, and the wine was released to celebrate the winery's centenary. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts runs for 30 to 35 days with a submerged cap, followed by 30 months in large casks. Black cherries, wild berries and plums come with menthol, sage and saline notes. The wine has the explosive energy of Serralunga d'Alba combined with grace and vigour. Serve it with slow-cooked red meat, mushroom dishes or mature cheese, and decant it before serving. Briffa Wine Selections brings this Barolo to Malta, delivered across the island.
