Ceretto Barolo Brunate 2021, 75cl

Founded in the 1930's, the Ceretto house is a pioneer in producing single-vineyard (''cru'') wines in Piedmont, employing a mix of modern and traditional methods. The Brunate vineyard is situated in a high-quality position, yielding a wine that is approachable in its youth but has strong aging potential. The Barolo ''Brunate'' is a fine red wine from vineyards located up to 400 meters in altitude and aged for 24 months in tonneau and large barrels.

Tasting Notes

There is a carnival of flowers on the nose, accompanied by ethereal accents, in the generous vintages, or by a range of citrus notes, in the fresher years. In its youth, the wine is instilled with a fruit that seems sweet and whole, the tannins are able to enliven the mouthfeel and restore tension, without removing smoothness from its taste. It is the development, then, that makes the picture precious, painting the whole with autumnal tones and whiffs of smokiness. There is an aura of pure hedonism, which pervades the summit of this hill.

Pairing Notes

Pairs well with rich red meats and aged cheeses.
