WINE DESCRIPTION

Ceretto Barolo is a red wine that hails from the Barolo appellation in Piedmont, Italy. Produced by a renowned family-owned winery, this wine showcases the Nebbiolo grape native to the region. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the wider region. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques but with a modern focus with a shorter vatting time, and the use of smaller, but older oak barrels. All this results in a wine that exudes elegance and complexity. Ceretto Barolo is known for its full-bodied and robust style, with flavors of ripe red fruits, earthy undertones, and firm tannins. It is a wine that beautifully represents the unique terroir of Barolo.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Ceretto Barolo has a pale ruby color with a hint of brick on the rim.The nose is perfumed with redcurrant fruit and dried flowers evident. The palate is full-bodied with grippy, angular tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and scented with notes of old wood. This is a wine that will need time to show its best but will reward the drinker with considerable nuance once the peak is reached. Serve with slow-cooked lamb or beef. Drink within 20 years.
