Over het wijnhuis | Cascina Schiavenza maakt maar liefst 5 verschillende, unieke Barolo’s. De wijnen krijgen hun rijping op grote Slavonische vaten, en in tegenstelling tot wat de moderne etiketten doen vermoeden, hanteert Schiavenza een traditionele stijl van wijn maken. |
Wijngaard en regio | De druiven komen uit de cru Cerretta in de comune (gemeente) Serralunga d’Alba in Barolo. De wijngaarden liggen op 300-400 meter boven zeeniveau en liggen op het zuidoosten en westen. De bodems bestaan uit kalksteen en tufsteen. |
Vinificatie | De druiven vergisten voor 15-20 dagen op een temperatuur van 25-30 graden Celcius, waarbij de wijn regelmatig wordt overgepompt van het ene naar het andere vat. De wijn rijpt vervolgens 30 maanden in grote vaten (20-40 hl) van Slavonisch eiken. |

Awards | "This has an intoxicating nose of dark cherries, dried roses and a touch of asphalt. The palate is tightly wound and agile, with precise and absorbing tannins complemented by juicy, tender fruit. Wonderful precision. A joy to taste now, but better in a year or two. Drink from 2026." - James Suckling "Serralunga d’Alba. Cask sample. Pale ruby. Cinnamon bark and rich, brooding cherry. Supple and generous cherry and raspberry fruit on the palate and delicious, gravelly tannins. Not the most complex but therefore really hedonistic. Ready now. (WS)" - Jancis Robinson "This is my favorite wine in this group from Schiavenza. The 2020 Barolo Cerretta (with a 15% alcohol content) has dried fruit and baked plum that gives the wine an aged profile. These results are firm and muscular with a powerful approach to the mouthfeel. This wine has some of the metallic or ferrous qualities that I often associate with Serralunga d'Alba. It finishes with a salty, mineral close. 3,500 bottles were made." - 93 punten, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate over de 2020-vintage "The 2018 Barolo Cerretta is redolent of spice, dark macerated cherry, leather, red-fleshed fruits and spice. Aromatically beguiling and nuanced, the 2018 marries that sensuality with a good bit of muscle. Even so, the 2018 will drink well with minimal cellaring. Dried leaves, tobacco, cedar and macerated red cherry linger." - 91 punten, Vinous over de 2018-vintage "Rich and packed with tightly wound tannins, this red offers cherry, tamarind, tar and eucalyptus flavors. This is more about the savory character and structure, with a chewy finish, yet there's ample fruit. Best from 2028 through 2045." - 92 punten, Wine Spectator over de 2020-vintage "Pretty and rounded, this Barolo offers a delightful aromas reminiscent of mixed berry jam and preserves with a touch of medicinal notes. Classically formed on the palate with a core of cherry, wild herbs and hint of roasted black tea, the tannins make their presence known on the palate with a chalky texture. This wine begs for a juicy grilled ribeye steak or porcini mushrooms. Drink 2025 - 2045" - 94 punten, Wine Enthusiast over de 2020-vintage "The typical garnet colour of Barolo shines in the glass here, with an intense nose of raspberry, dried cherry, camphor and earthy tones with tar and leather. Fruit concentration and sucrosity carry the palate to the finish, with crisp acidity and dusty tannins alongside balanced alcohol. Despite some bold fruit, the wine shows complexity and length." - 93 punten, Decanter over de 2018-vintage |
