Occasional wine note

We really dig this Barolo. The fruit really stands out, particularly those ripe cherries, but there are layers of earthiness and baking spices that really shine from start to beautifully long finish.

What experts say about this wine

James Suckling

Crushed berry, bark and mushroom aromas follow through to a full body with juicy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Very well done for the vintage.

Wine Advocate

The Schiavenza 2019 Barolo Cerretta (with only 2,928 bottles made) is different from the other three wines in this flight in that it opens to softer and riper fruit tones, and the oak remains further in the background. The fruit recalls cooked cherry and blackcurrant, and with a little time, those oak-driven notes of spice and sweet cinnamon do filter through.
