Tasting Notes
Intense, bright garnet red. A wine of extraordinary complexity from Ceretto's most prestigious single vineyard — Bricco Rocche in Castiglione Falletto. Very fragrant on the nose with rose petals, tar, and the mineral depth that only Nebbiolo on Barolo's finest limestone soils can produce. Firm, structured tannins on the palate, with exceptional length and ageing potential. 99 points Robert Parker, 97 points Vinous Antonio Galloni, 95 points Wine Spectator, 94 points Wine Enthusiast.
