Barolo Cerretta is elegant yet powerful. Ruby red grapefruit, ripe citrus, cherry, blackberry, dried roses, Tasmanian pepper tones and mint notes, all speak "Serralunga limestones" in this wine. The palate is mineral, with hints of earl grey tea, lychee, elderflower, orange peel and very structured yet elegant tannins.

97 points	This admirable wine (our fourteenth Best In Show Barolo or Barolo Riserva) offers a serene and commanding reading of the warm 2022 vintage, one without any sense of stress or excessive heat. It's deep though translucent in colour, with soft, sweet aromas of burnished, autumn-warm red fruits infused with floral charm and lent extra complexity by forest and tea-leaf notes. You just know it's going to be graceful and deft on the palate, and sure enough it is – but it's also gathered, serious, taut and aromatically complex right until the final notes have faded. Its tannins are splendid: ample, soft but detaining, lending the wine gastronomic seriousness and finesse. Fine vineyard origins are surely in evidence here, as well as impeccable cellar work – and there’s no hurry to drink, though the wine is approachable already.

93 points	The 2022 Barolo Cerretta is the most potent and brooding of the Baudana Barolos. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, licorice, game, incense and dried flowers build nicely in the glass. Like all the other Barolos in the range, the Cerretta opens very nicely with air as the tannins start to soften and the fruit emerges. I especially admire the energy here. This is a terrific wine for the year.

97 points	A jeweled ruby color, the 2022 Barolo Cerretta is expressive and layered with aromas of ripe cherries and delicate spice. Full-bodied, it reveals velvety, well-defined tannins with greater richness and depth compared to the Baudana bottling. The palate is long and structured with impressive persistence.
