Davide Fregonese Barolo Cerretta 2019
97 Points, James Suckling
Cerretta sits higher on the slope than Propo with slightly looser, clay-rich soils. The result is a Barolo that’s powerful but more aromatic, accessible, and elegant in its youth. Suckling gave it 97 points, noting “graceful and bracing palate with firm, velvety and refined tannins” with “earthy minerality, Parma violets, rhubarb root, red currants and wild strawberries.” The tannins are silkier and better integrated – this will hit its sweet spot around 10-20 years but is already showing beautifully.

97 Points, James Suckling
Bright telltale ruby color introduces a complex and layered aromatic profile of earthy minerality, Parma violets, rhubarb root, red currants and wild strawberries. Graceful and bracing palate with firm, velvety and refined tannins, crisp integrated acidity and great balance in the finish, which is polished and classy. Best after 10 years.
Davide Fregonese is a superstar in the making. You can ask anyone in Piedmont. He had a successful career in finance in Turin before pursuing his true passion: creating high-quality Italian wines. He named his winery Bugia Nen – Piedmontese dialect for “don’t cease ground” – symbolizing resilience and determination. And when two tiny 0.6-hectare plots came up for sale in Cerretta and Prapò, he jumped on them.
He’s lucky, he gets to make wines from two of the most prestigious vineyard sites in all of Barolo, and he works alongside his dear friend Davide Rosso (of Giovanni Rosso fame) to craft wines of immense depth and longevity.
