Tasting Notes
2016 has been hailed as the vintage of the century and the Ceretto wines are among the best, regardsless of vintage. Barolo is always 100% Nebbiolo and this one is a classic. Perfumed and aromatic of red fruits, earth and a nuance of florals that are reaffirmed on the structured and ripe palate. Best drunk with 10+ years age, but this gem will excel well beyond 20 years. - Chris L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
