"Sweet strawberry with tar and bark on the nose. Full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and chewy, dusty tannins. Classic styled. Needs at least five years of bottle age. Try after 2026."

"From the Bricco Cerretta cru, one of the largest of Serralunga d’Alba area. On the nose, notes of blueberry, small blackberries and undergrowth, then hints of laurel. Taut and crunchy mouth with salty tannins. Officinal trace in 94 the aftertaste."
