Gorgeous Right Away Will Age Incredibly: 2018 Schiavenza Barolo Cerretta
If you'd asked me, 'What's the one wine that makes your heart skip a beat?' chances are, I'd say Barolo. There's just something about its bold personality and irresistible charm that speaks to the soul.
Barolo, the ultimate Italian king, has us wine lovers all at its feet. And to be honest, these are the types of wines that remind us why we fell in love with wine in the first place.
And within Barolo, one producer shines bright: Schiavenza. Today, we're proud to offer their standout creation, the 2018 Schiavenza Barolo Cerretta.
Renowned wine critic Tom Hyland of Forbes Magazine included Schiavenza in the esteemed "Best 25 Producers of Barolo" list. He raved about the winery, saying, "If you are looking for a classic Serralunga Barolo that offers a structure for long-term cellaring, the wines from Schiavenza are ideal candidates." These wines are rugged yet harmonious, delivering a taste experience that is as enchanting as it is powerful.
Cerretta is located in Serralunga d'Alba, a magical region known for producing some of the finest and most robust Barolos in the world. The vineyards here are nestled on the hillsides surrounding the village, benefiting from limestone and clay-rich soil that imparts unique flavors and textures to the grapes. The winery shares terroir with legendary producers like Massolino, Fontanafredda, and Luciano Sandrone, whose wines can cost up to $200 or more per bottle!
But today, we're offering this stunning Barolo at a price that's simply irresistible. At this level of quality, saying no is practically impossible (especially with free shipping on 6 or more bottles!).
Awarded an impressive 94 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Barolo embodies the very essence of Serralunga d'Alba intensity and precision. It's a wine that demands attention, destined to delight even the most discerning palate.
