The 2007 Barolo Cerretta is serious juice. This dark, imposing Barolo covers every inch of the palate with deep layers of dark Serralunga fruit. There is tremendous excitement in the glass. The 2007 Barolo Cerretta is sensual, racy and powerful, all in equal measure. It is a wonderfully complete, delineated wine that captivates all of the senses. This is another dazzling effort from Giuseppe Vajra. Wow! Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
Luigi Baudana is one of the great recent success stories in Piedmont. Giuseppe Vajra has totally turned around the quality at this once middle of the road estate since purchasing the winery in 2008. All three of the 2007 Baroli are terrific. The integration of oak and overall balance of the wines has never been better. In short, the Vajras have pretty much blown the roof off the potential at Baudana?.and the wines they have released so far had already been vinified and partly aged when they bought the property.
