We have waited for almost 30 years to vinify the single-vineyard Cerretta separately, in order to have older vines,' said fourth-generation owner, Luigi Scavino. The 2016 was first Ceretta to be released, followed up by this 2017. Bright ruby in colour, it has a restrained nose of smoky woodland, leather, violet, pomegranate and cherry. The ripe attack is almost fleshy, followed by assertive acidity and polished tannins which become chalky on the cherry kernel finish. Hidden power.
