Review
Barolo Cerretta Vigna Bricco comes from one of the legendary Serralunga crus and is another gem presented to us by this winery. After 2 years of ageing in barrel, a third of which are new, the ensuing 5,000 bottles appear a lovely, deep ruby colour with garnet glints.

An opulent, refined and generous wine, with incredible fullness and complexity.
