Tasting notes
A 100% Nebbiolo from the Barolo DOCG, the Ceretto 2021 displays a garnet ruby colour with an orange-tinged rim. On the nose, expect classic Nebbiolo aromas of rose, tar, cherry, violet and dried herbs with a subtle hint of oak. The palate is elegant and precise, offering red fruits, leather and tobacco, supported by firm but polished tannins and a long, lingering finish. The 2021 vintage benefited from a warm, dry growing season with cool nights, resulting in concentrated fruit and excellent natural acidity
