The 2020 Cerretta from Luigi Baudana is fantastic. It starts off with intense aromas of camphor, dark culinary spice, blue flower and new leather while the delicious palate features ripe raspberry, fleshy Morello cherry and layers of star anise, ground clove and white pepper. Taut, close-grained tannins give it an enveloping texture while a mineral note recalling wet stone lingers on the long finish. 97 points. Kerin O’Keefe.
