"Altare fremstillede den første Barolo fra Cerretta i Serralunga d’Alba i 2005 og tro mod sit territorio er dette også den mest reserverede og strukturerede Barolo i familiens portefølje, hvorfor den siden 2012 er frigivet som Riserva. Ordet Bricco henviser i Langa til den øverste, favoriserede og solbeskinnede del af en markskråning, hvor sneen smelter først. Det er en majestætisk og vidunderligt fuldendt Barolo, der viser at Elio og Silvia også formår at lave en dyb og rigt struktureret Serralunga-Barolo med en inciterende sanseappel." Adriat
"The 2009 Barolo Cerretta is not a Riserva, but it is released six years after the harvest. Fruit comes from a 4,000-square-meter parcel near the Bricco Cerretta hamlet in Serralunga d'Alba that is shaped like a little mound with excellent exposures on its various sides. This wine shows an excellent sense of balance with beautiful freshness and aromatic intensity that still feels youthful and vibrant. It offers seamless endnotes of wild berry, balsam herb and toasted almond. This wine will hold strong for many more years to come." Robert Parker 97p
"Dark shades of black cherries, plums, menthol, spices and tar explode from the 2009 Barolo Vigna Bricco Cerretta. This rich, sumptuous wine is endowed with serious depth and power. The 2009 is years away from drinking at it speak, but it is striking, even today. Layers of huge fruit supported by equally imposing tannins wrap around the plush, powerful finish. The Cerretta is another wine with a bright future." Antonio Galloni 95p
"Amazing perfume of cherry, flower, mineral, and hints of rose petal. Full body, powerful and chewy tannins. Fabulous depth and structure. One of the most exciting wines from here in a long time." James Suckling 97p
