Ceretto Barolo 2021 1.5Ltr

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.

Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy’s finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means ‘fog’ in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.
