Giacomo Conterno Cerretta Barbera d'Alba 2017

$68

Roberto Conterno needs no introduction to Piedmont lovers. He is probably the most celebrated producer in all of Italy these days. While his Barolo, Monfortino has reached first-growth levels of pricing in recent years, his Barbera (planted within the famous Cerretta vineyard) remains the best way to experience his special talent at an attainable price. This has all the depth and class of top-drawer Barolo and performs beautifully in the cellar.andnbsp;

The 2017 Barbera d'Alba Cerretta is rich, unctuous and super-expressive, its recent bottling notwithstanding. Ripe red cherry, plum, blood orange, hard candy and spice develop in the glass, but what surprises me most about the 2017 is how polished and refined it has become during the course of its aging. Of course, the 2017 needs time to be at its best, but it is certainly off to a great start. The natural richness and intensity of the year are so well-balanced here, while the wine's breadth will emerge even more fully with time. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)
