2019 Ceretto, Barolo, Bussia 6x75cl

From the Barolo appellation in the heart of Italy's Piedmont region, Ceretto's Barolo Bricco Rocche is a wine that epitomizes the elegance, power, and depth of this iconic terroir. Ceretto, a name revered in the world of Barolo, has upheld a tradition of uncompromising quality and respect for the land for generations. Their Barolo Bricco Rocche is a pinnacle of their winemaking artistry, sourced from the prestigious Bricco Rocche vineyard. This wine is meticulously crafted from Nebbiolo grapes, a noble variety that thrives in the Langhe hills surrounding the Barolo commune. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested to ensure the highest quality and then undergo a meticulous vinification process that respects the nuances of this singular terroir. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, allowing it to mature for an extended period, often exceeding three years. This aging process allows the wine to develop its extraordinary complexity and structure while preserving the integrity of the Nebbiolo grape. Ceretto's Barolo Bricco Rocche includes aromas of red roses, dark cherries, and a subtle hint of tar and truffle. On the palate, it unfurls with grace and power, offering a harmonious balance of bold tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of blackberry, red plum, liquorice, and a distinct earthiness weave together, leading to a profoundly long and memorable finish.
