WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Ceretto Barolo Classico has soft notes of rose petals, cigar box and red forest berries on the nose. The wine's well-balanced acidity entices the consumer to take and another sip as this wine is a complete joy on its own by-the-glass or when paired with a myriad of meat or cream-based dishes.
TASTING NOTES:
A bright Barolo with red cherries and raspberries with subtle brick notes and dried aromatic herbs. The medium-bodied palate is firm and chewy upfront, but gradually resolves towards the finish. The fruit presents lots of clarity and precision at the red end of the spectrum. A joy to taste, but wait at least three years to enjoy it at its best.

The 2021 Barolo is a super-classic, finely cut wine. A Barolo of real vibrancy, the 2021 bristles with energy. The straight Barolo is built on a core of fruit from the lower slopes of Brunate plus smaller pieces from the other sites. In 2021, it is a total delight. Orange peel, cinnamon, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco slowly fade on the close.
- Vinous, 92 pts.
A taut red, this offers strawberry, cherry, earth and underbrush flavors backed by a dense, linear structure. Remains fresh and lingers nicely on the finish. Best from 2028 through 2046.
