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

About this wine

Ceretto is a renowned producer of Barolo DOCG, one of the most prestigious wines in Italy. The history of the winery dates back to the 1930s when Riccardo Ceretto started producing wine in the Langhe region of Piedmont. Today, the winery is run by his sons, Bruno and Marcello, who have continued the family tradition of producing high-quality wines.

Barolo DOCG is made from the Nebbiolo grape, which is grown in the hills of the Langhe region. The wine is known for its complex aromas and flavors, which include notes of cherry, leather, and tobacco. It is aged for at least three years in oak barrels, which gives it a rich and full-bodied character.

Ceretto's Barolo DOCG is made from grapes grown in some of the best vineyards in the region, including the Bricco Rocche and Brunate vineyards. These vineyards are known for their unique microclimates and soil types, which give the grapes a distinct character.

The winemaking process at Ceretto is a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for at least three years before being bottled.

Ceretto's Barolo DOCG is a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for many years. It pairs well with rich, hearty dishes such as roasted meats and stews. With its complex aromas and flavors, Ceretto's Barolo DOCG is a wine that is sure to please any wine lover.
