"This is everything Barolo should be" - Vinous.
Her er der virkelig tale om vaskeægte topkvalitets Barolo fra Ceretto. Kast blot et blik på de sublime anmeldelser vinen har fået i den elegante årgang 2021. Der er tale om point i den helt tunge ende fra alle de store, internationale vinkritikere.
Druerne til denne fremragende vin kommer udelukkende fra den berømte mark Brunate i La Morra kommunen i Piemonte. Vinene herfra kan, grundet deres friskhed og elegante syreprofil, sagtens nydes ung. Denne topvin byder på et væld af friske blomster og røde bær, der, i flot samspil med Nebbiolos markante tanniner, giver en ubeskriveligt dejlig vin, der sagtens kan gemmes væk i kælderen i flere årtier.
Med 5,2 hektarer er Brunate dén enkeltmarks Barolo fra Ceretto med den største produktion. Vinen herfra er generelt mere feminin, lys og elegant end de andre enkeltmarksvine, og den lader sig fint nyde i sin pure ungdom, selvom den først for alvor begynder at udfolde sit gigantiske potentiale 8-10 år efter høståret.

Moving over to La Morra, the Ceretto 2021 Barolo Brunate is a classical expression of one of the most representative vineyards in this village. You get the delicate fruits associated with Nebbiolo, but you also get the mint that is common to Brunate. If you walk through this vineyard in springtime, you often smell fresh mint brushing against your shoes. Brunate also has an elegant mineral signature of crushed limestone. It ages in 300-liter French oak for 12 months followed by 24 months in French oak botte and then another 12 months in bottle.

Cranberries, dried herbs, underbrush, sage, minerals and violets on the nose. Very aromatic and absorbing. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with precise, linear, elegant fruit; firm, balanced tannins; and a compact, racy finish. Outstanding balance. Better from 2026.

Brothers Bruno and Marcello Ceretto made their first purchase in Brunate in 1970. Today the family counts over five hectares in this hot, south-facing MGA. The vineyards are mostly located on the mid-slope at an average of 350 metres above sea level. Darkly and exotically nuanced, the 2021 opens like a wondrous Chinese medicine herb drawer. Undertones of wet pavement, tar and lurking florals soon follow. This is steely, tight and multilayered. Sour cherry and currant are packed into the core, and silky tannins wrap confidently around. Compelling bittering agents rebound on the finish.

The 2021 Barolo Brunate is dark, sensual and layered in the glass. Strong balsamic inflections wrap around a core of dark red-toned fruit. Cedar, orange peel and new leather add striking layers of exotic dimension. Deceptive at first, the 2021 packs plenty of Brunate punch. The long, persistent finish is captivating. This is everything Barolo should be.
