2018 Mauro Sebaste, Barolo, Ceretta (RT94+) This wine, aged in 400 liter French oak tonneaux for 36 months, is from the historical Cerretta vineyard in Serralunga. The 2018 shows a seductive side of Barolo with sumptuous notes of mentholated Marasco cherry, cranberry, sappy mouthcoating red berry fruit and hints of lilac. As it opens in the glass the aromatic depth is impressive, layered with perfectly ripe fruit and punctuated with dusty minerality. The palate is equally beautiful with admirable balance, fresh acidity and sweet ripe tannins that lend a sense of polish to the wine. A gorgeous package offering all the things that make great Barolo so attractive. Drink 2026-2038+
