The Winery

Ceretto

“Whoever drinks [our] wines can see the vineyards from which they originated. The vineyard is history, the names of the hills remain, unchanged over time, enhancing the quality and credibility of the wines produced here. You can search for, visit and physically touch a vineyard…always.” –Ceretto Family

One of the top-quality Barolo and Barbaresco producers in Piedmont, Ceretto was founded by Ricardo Ceretto in 1930 and has become famous for being the founder of the single-vineyard Barolo movement. The Ceretto family has become one of the largest vineyard proprietors in Piedmont with now over 400 acres of estate-owned vineyards, mostly located in Langhe and Roero. After growing considerably in the 1970s, the company built two wineries: Bricco Roche, located in Barolo, and Bricco Asili, located in Barbaresco. The wineries were named after vineyard sites in their respective appellations, and were created to produce wines only from those specific vineyards that were chosen in the mid-20th Century. Today, the winery is under the leadership of Alessandro Ceretto, although production is and will be a continuous family endeavor.

Tasting Notes

WA94
Ceretto`s 2013 Barolo Brunate shows dark garnet luminosity with subtle hues of cooked brick at the rims. By appearance alone, this is a very inviting Barolo. The bouquet is a bit softer and more delicate in this vintage. The wine shows a beautiful side of the usually more potent and austere Brunate cru. Following in a similar theme, the mouthfeel is lightly layered and nuanced. The yielding tannins make this wine slightly more accessible, although it is also built for long aging should that be your preference. The wine is versatile and approachable in the medium term as well.
