Tasting notes
The organic 2018 Barolo Brunate is angular and firm. Despite the softer character of the vintage, you still feel the tannins and the structure of this celebrated MGA site. There is balsam herb, dried lavender, rose and candied cherry. The wine is generous and round.

About this wine
Ceretto is a renowned wine producer located in the Piedmont region of Italy. The company was founded in 1930 by Riccardo Ceretto and his wife, Giuliana. Today, the company is run by their sons, Bruno and Marcello, who have continued the family tradition of producing high-quality wines.
One of Ceretto's most famous wines is the Brunate Barolo. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Brunate vineyard, which is located in the La Morra commune of Barolo. The vineyard is situated on a steep hillside with a south-facing exposure, which provides optimal growing conditions for the Nebbiolo grapes.
The Brunate Barolo is a classic example of the Barolo style, which is known for its full-bodied, tannic wines with complex aromas and flavors. The wine is aged for at least two years in oak barrels, which gives it a rich, woody character. The wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of dark fruit, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with firm tannins and flavors of black cherry, plum, and spice. The wine has a long, lingering finish with notes of vanilla and oak.
Ceretto is also known for its other Barolo wines, including the Bricco Rocche and the Prapò. These wines are also made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Piedmont region and are aged in oak barrels for several years. The Bricco Rocche is a more elegant and refined wine, while the Prapò is a more robust and full-bodied wine.
In addition to its Barolo wines, Ceretto also produces other red and white wines from the Piedmont region. These wines include Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba, and Arneis. The Barbera d'Alba is a medium-bodied red wine with flavors of cherry and spice. The Dolcetto d'Alba is a lighter-bodied red wine with flavors of blackberry and violet. The Arneis is a white wine with a crisp, refreshing character and flavors of citrus and pear.
