Expert Reviews
I got a sneak peek at the Elio Altare 2019 Barolo Riserva Cerretta Vigna Bricco, although it is too early to review the wine at this time. It won't hit the market until the fall of 2024. From what we can gather now, we are in for a special prize. This vintage is dark and generously concentrated with black fruit flavors and firm tannins for structural support. The 2019 shows power and a fully loaded style.
Silvia Altare purchased 0.9ha in Cerretta in 2016, ‘when it was way cheaper’, she says. The vineyard is at the top of the hill at 390m, with a full southwest to southeast exposure. Exotic scents of spice, scorched earth, vanilla and pressed violet are settling in nicely. The palate is densely packed with liquorice-infused black cherry laminated between toasty oak and polished, grippy tannins. This needs longer for its substantial layers to coalesce, but extraordinary balance is already evident. Grilled bay leaf to close.
