Reviews

The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker -91 points

The 2006 Barbera d'Alba Cerreto is simply superb, as masses of rich, concentrated dark fruit, spices, chocolate, leather and licorice emerge from the glass. The wine possesses stunning opulence, class and sheer finesse. This is easily the best vintage of the Cerreto ever made. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016.
