The Barolo “Cerretta” Luigi Baudana by G.D. Vajra is a wine that embraces the most authentic tradition of Barolo, with long extractions and aging in large oak barrels. It comes from an exceptional cru in Serralunga d’Alba, from which it draws elegance, structure, and depth. The label identifies a historic boutique winery, now managed by the family Vajra, custodians of 4 hectares of vineyards since 2009. The nose reveals notes of red fruits, spices, and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it is intense, mineral, with ripe tannins and a long, harmonious finish. A Barolo of great personality, perfect with roasts, game, and aged cheeses. It is an excellence for true connoisseurs.
