"The 2020 Cerretta from Luigi Baudana is fantastic. It starts off the with intense aromas of camphor dark culinary spice blue flower and new leather while the delicious palate features ripe raspberry fleshy Morello cherry and layers of star anise ground clove and white pepper. Taut close-grained tannins give it an enveloping texture while a mineral note recalling wet stone lingers on the long finish." - Kerin O'Keefe

 

"Liquorice, mint, very spicy and aromatic, red cherry and raspberry, but also kind of savoury and tobacco-laced. Nutmeg and fine grip to gently sandy tannin, sweet and slightly minty red fruit, almond paste richness, maybe some warming alcohol, but lots of flavour here, with a dry spicy finish of good length." - Wine Front

 

"The Luigi Baudana 2020 Barolo Cerretta has bold lines and shows dominant dark fruit. You get all of that Serralunga d'Alba intensity with ferrous earth dried apricot blackcurrant iron ore and crushed stone. The wine ends on a dry note that is reinforced by the tight nature of the fine chalky tannins but there is enough fruit to soften out the effect. There is a hint of nutmeg or sweet spice on the palate." - Wine Advocate

 

"The 2020 Barolo Cerretta is a very complete wine in this vintage. Deep and layered but in the medium-bodied style of the year the 2020 impresses with its balance and overall harmony. Succulent red cherry fruit spice rose petal mint and dried herbs fill out the layers nicely. The substantial finish is quite attractive." - Vinous

 

"Barolo Cerretta comes from Nebbiolo grapes harvested from the vineyards of the same name located in Serralunga. The bunches come from vineyards composed of different biotypes of Nebbiolo, and represent an incredible legacy of Luigi's work.

An austere Barolo with a recognizable mineral expression; aromas of cherries and raspberries emerge from the glass with elegance, those of menthol and leather have profundity. Cerretta is distinguished by elegant tannins and a great freshness that balances at best with ripe fruits." - Winery
