This is a delicious red wine with plump fruit flavors and exuberant fruit. I happily paired it with meat-filled angolotti and melted butter. The 2015 Barbera d'Alba Il Cerreto benefits from the warm vintage and offers dark layers of Morello cherry and blackberry as a result. The mouthfeel is rich and succulent, yet the wine also shows its elegance and is never too heavy or dense.
The estate owns or manages 8.5 hectares (21 acres) of vineyards around La Morra, with high planting densities producing tiny yields. There are six different parcels of in a range of Barolo crus: Brunate, Cerequio, Capalot, La Serra, Pozzo dell'Anunziata and Sarmassa di Barolo, which are all sources for individual cuvees. In addition, 2013 saw the release of the first vintage the 2003 of the Fossati Case Nere 10 Anni Riserva. The portfolio is completed by two leading Barbera d'Alba wines including the benchmark Vignasse, a Dolcetto d'Alba, Langhe Merlot, and a Langhe Nebbiolo.
