Sjælden og sublim Barolo fra Ceretto.
En af Piemontes største vine kommer fra Barolos mindste cru, kendt som Bricco Rocche, der ligger lige uden for Castiglione Falletto, klemt ind mellem vinmarkerne Villero og Rocche di Castiglione i en højde på ca. 1.200 fod (350–370 meter). Navnet betyder “klippens top”, og siden begyndelsen af 1970’erne har Bricco Rocche været et eksklusivt monopol ejet af Ceretto-familien. Denne enestående vinmark har sydøst- til sydvestvendt eksponering og ligger centralt i Barolo. Vinstokkene dyrkes både økologisk og biodynamisk, og jorden består af sandsten, silt og ler – kendt for at give vine med stor balance.
I den kølige og meget fine årgang 2021 har det resulteret i et mesterværk af en Barolo med intens duft med røde bær, blomster og mineralitet. Smagen byder på imponerende struktur, silkebløde tanniner og en lang, elegant finish.

This is the grande dame in the Ceretto portfolio. The organic 2021 Barolo Bricco Rocche draws its fruit from one of my favorite slopes in Castiglione Falletto that always delivers extreme sharpness and focus. Indeed, this is one of the smallest MGAs in the appellation (maybe the smallest?), and the Ceretto family has the monopoly. Bricco Rocche sits at 350 to 370 meters in elevation with southeastern and southwestern exposures and a mix of sand, silt and clay soils. The wine opens gracefully to reveal redcurrant, blue flower and crushed stone over a very firm, mid-weight finish fueled by long, silky tannins. A pop of bright acidity seals the deal.

This is really floral on the nose, with blueberries, blackberries and touches of asphalt and cedar. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with blue fruit flavors, sophisticated polished tannins and a clean, linear finish. Already great, but it should evolve nicely over the next couple of years.

Surrounding Ceretto’s single-vineyard winery in Castiglione Falletto, the Bricco Rocche vineyard can be identified from afar by the modern cube structure. A monopoly of just over one hectare, this wine was first produced in 1982. A thoroughly promising nose vibrates with intensity. Preliminary scents of cherry blossom, tea, balsam wood and dewy earth surge insistently from the glass. Stylishly sculpted and taut, it simmers with power, and there is just enough give to the pulpy raspberry fruit. Crisp, talc-like tannins meld with chalky minerals. Hints of toasted hazelnut flit throughout, and brightness on the finish is suggestive of rosehip tea.

The 2021 Barolo Bricco Rocche captures all the best the vintage had to offer. Powerful and yet sensual, with superb balance, the Bricco Rocche is not the showiest wine in the range, but it does offer terrific persistence and dynamic energy. Beams of tannin and clean mineral undertones extend the finish. The 2021 is compelling in every way.
