Giovanni Rosso Barolo Cerretta 2018
$97
This red is tightly wound and austere, displaying a glimpse of cherry and strawberry fruit, along with hay, tar and mint. This is also fresh and persistent, so give it time. Best from 2025 through 2040. 800 cases made, 75 cases imported.

Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
