Cerretta is the only terroir that Elio Altare owns in Serralunga d'Alba, south of Barolo. And it is a very great Cru! The wine, after a long ageing in wood and in bottle, is now resplendent: a great nose of plum and fruit in brandy; the palate is ample, fat and powerful, as it should be here. A Piedmontese Lord.
