Sweet and rewarding even if a little jagged and lacklustre on the finish

Giacomo Conterno, Barbera d'Alba Cerretta Size:6x750ml it doesn t quite haveThe 2018 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Cerretta is so elegant and refined in this vintage. The 2018 is lithe and precise, with lovely red berry, floral and blood orange flavors that are woven together into a fabric of total class. The long, silky finish is a thing of beauty. With a bit of time, the Cerretta starts to show its trademark pliancy. I would give it a few years in bottle. Antonio Galloni
