Schiavenza Cerretta Barolo 202094 pts Wine Enthusiast "Pretty and rounded, this Barolo offers a delightful aromas reminiscent of mixed berry jam and preserves with a touch of medicinal notes.

This wine begs for a juicy grilled ribeye steak or porcini mushrooms. Drink 2025 2045 " Jeff Porter 93 pts Wine Advocate
