Ceretto Barolo Brunate 2020

This Brunate, from one of La Morra's most esteemed crus, is an instant classic. The nose is a collage of crushed cherries, cranberry, and a whisper of blood orange zest, that stimulates the senses. On the palate, the wine is impeccably balanced, with well-integrated tannins providing a solid structure for the complex array of flavors of aged tea, pink rose petals and pomegranate. The finish is long and satisfying, showcasing the cru's signature beauty. Drink 2026 - 2045

Dark nose, sultry and seductive, rose and violet petals and berry fruit, scented in a rich perfumed way. Quite a profound initial burst of flavour and texture on the palate, deep and full black and red cherries and bramble fruit. Tannins are full and filling, this makes a bold first impression then just tapers off slightly towards the finish, becoming more pointed and losing some easy brightness becoming more serious and knitted. This is saving some of its greatness for later but I love the lingering tight cherry and iron-edged finish. Something very captivating about this wine.

Fantastic tension and concentration give this superbly balanced wine a memorable profile that will bring pleasure for years to come. Intricate layers of raspberries, cranberries, minerals and orange peel leave a lingering finish. Best from 2028.
