The Conterno Giacomo 2015 Barolo DOCG Cerretta is a wine that embodies the quintessence of the Piedmontese winemaking tradition, coming from the historic Barolo denomination. This vintage, with its optimal weather conditions, has given rise to a wine that is already a classic, revealing an incredible aromatic complexity. The hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes from the Cerretta vineyards form the foundation of this masterpiece, which presents itself with a deep and captivating garnet red color.
Aromas of withered roses, black cherries, and dried plums intertwine with earthy notes and spices like black pepper, creating a rich and layered bouquet. On the palate, the well-integrated tannic structure and full body envelop the taster in an experience that is both powerful and elegant. The acidity is impeccable, balancing the savoriness and enriching the long and persistent finish, where hints of licorice and vanilla emerge, a result of the delicate aging in oak barrels.
Perfect to pair with rich dishes such as Barolo braised meat or wild boar stew, this Barolo can also be enjoyed on its own, allowing time to amplify its complexity. Aware of its great potential, this wine is destined to age magnificently, paying tribute to the tradition that has made Barolo one of the most admired wines in the world. A true treasure of the Langhe, inviting to be discovered and celebrated.
