Discover the profound elegance of the 2019 Azelia Barolo Cerretta, a masterful expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo's most esteemed crus. This vintage reveals a deep garnet hue, hinting at its remarkable intensity and aging potential. On the nose, it offers complex aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and rose petals, interwoven with nuances of licorice, tobacco, and earthy undertones. The palate is robust yet refined, showcasing firm tannins and vibrant acidity that promise a long evolution, culminating in a persistent, captivating finish. A wine destined for the cellar, it will beautifully complement rich braised meats, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.

"Cerretta is one of my favorite sites in Serralunga d'Alba because it consists of vines wrapped around a hilltop with various exposures. For that reason, Cerretta wines can vary widely from producer to producer. The Azelia 2019 Barolo Cerretta has dark fruit and spice, but the bouquet is mostly colored by flinty mineral tones, smoke and pencil shaving. It offers terrific balance and also manages some softly perfumed notes of violet and blue flower that you don't get in the other wines. It sees 50 days of extended maceration and 30 months of aging in large oak casks. This is a very limited production of 3,200 bottles."
