Azelia, Barolo Ceretta, 2021
Luigi Scavino's Cerretta vineyard represents the crown jewel of Azelia's holdings in Serralunga d'Alba, consistently producing what many consider the estate's most complete expression of Barolo. This fifth-generation family winery has built its reputation on meticulous attention to detail at every stage of production, and nowhere is this precision more evident than in their single-vineyard bottlings from the commune's prestigious crus.
The Cerretta vineyard sits among Azelia's portfolio of prime Serralunga sites, including San Rocco, Margheria, and Bricco Voghera, yet it stands apart for its ability to marry the structured power typical of this commune with an unusual depth and richness of fruit. Serralunga d'Alba's reputation for producing some of Barolo's most age-worthy wines stems from its unique terroir, where calcareous-clay soils and optimal vineyard exposures create ideal conditions for Nebbiolo to develop both intensity and elegance.
The 2021 vintage showcases Luigi Scavino's mastery of traditional Barolo winemaking, where extended macerations and careful aging in large Slavonian oak allow the wine's natural complexity to emerge without overwhelming the delicate Nebbiolo fruit. This represents serious Barolo from one of the region's most respected producers, offering collectors a wine that embodies both the distinctive character of Serralunga and the refined house style that has made Azelia a benchmark producer in the Langhe.
