Barolo Cerretta Docg 2016 - Davide Fregonese

Enveloping, intense, memorable. Barolo Cerretta DOCG by Cantina "Bugia Nen" by Davide Fregonese, is an excellent red wine produced from grapes from 100% Nebbiolo vines. The Serralunga d'Alba vineyards were planted in 1998 on clayey-limestone soil at an altitude of 340 m slm with western exposure. The training system is espalier with guyot pruning. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe in mid-October. The refinement is carried out for a period ranging from 18 to 30 months depending on the vintage, in 15 hl French oak barrels from the Fontainbleau forest. A glass capable of captivating sight and smell from the very first moment. Intense ruby red to the eye, it offers the nose an amazing floral aroma of slightly withered flowers, mixed with the persistent scent of blackberry jam, followed by the bitterish hint of cocoa and licorice. In the mouth the taste is dense and extraordinarily enveloping, with a solid and balanced body, the flavor is persistent. The finish is fresh with a subtle but extremely elegant tannic texture. A refined and unique label of its kind; such a special bottle that it is perfectly suited to be tasted on the occasion of a combination with a juicy fassona steak, an elegant fillet with morels or a refined truffled partridge.
