This is the first year in which most of the Baroli were aged partly in cask and partly in barrel

The 2018 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Cerretta is so elegant and refined in this vintage

a decision that has paid off beautifully

lavender and rose petal aromas

Very deep garnet-black

Chateau Marsannay, Gevrey Chambertin Bel Air other_regions This is the first year(from a . 40 ha parcel). A moderately toasty nose speaks mostly of various black fruit scents that are trimmed in hints of the sauvage and earth. There is excellent intensity to the detailed and sleekly textured middle weight flavors that brim with minerality on the youthfully austere finale that also needs to develop more depth.
