Review Date: 07/2019Aromas of red cherry, pipe tobacco, menthol, star anise and a whiff of new leather shape the nose on this fragrant, captivating wine. Reflecting the aromas, the intense, structured palate doles out raspberry compote, licorice, graphite, crushed mint and a whiff of smoke. It’s impeccably balanced, with firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.

Staff Reviews
The Cerretta vineyard produces wines with a distinct "dark" personality. In the warmer 2015 vintage, this is a total knockout. It is smooth and succulent, bursting with raspberry compote, licorice, and wild herbs. It has that signature Serralunga "iron" and smoke on the finish, but the tannins are incredibly polished. It’s a powerhouse that’s already starting to open up.
