Barolo, Cerretta, 2020

The elegant side of Serralunga, the 2020 Cerretta is all violets and silky finesse. Clay based with veins of iron which produces a red colour, with aeration there is a great deal of nuance here – teasing umami and soy, along with mint and blackberries. 'The freshest single vineyard in Serralunga according to Alessandro Masnaghetti on account of constant cooling breezes.” Azelia has a big block of 2.5ha, but only 3500 bottles go into the single cru wine. It is typically aged in one big barrel for 30 months. The rest of the juice is declassified into Barolo Classico.
