Ceretto's 2019 Barolo combines the power of the vintage with the subtle signature of the house. The grapes come from various organically farmed cru sites in La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba – a composition that emphasises diversity and balance. On the nose, a precise, deep bouquet of dark cherry, ripe raspberry, dried rose and subtle hints of tobacco, liquorice and spicy undergrowth.

Bright garnet-red heart with ruby-coloured reflections. Structured yet supple on the palate, carried by ripe, silky tannins and a fresh, invigorating acidity that lends the wine length and elegance. The ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels preserves the transparency of the Nebbiolo and lets the terroir speak for itself. A Barolo that impresses with its noble restraint and precise flavour – a pleasure to savour now, with great potential for the years to come. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling ruby red with garnet-coloured edges. Seductive, complex nose, raspberries and sour cherries, followed by pepper, nutmeg and some forest floor. Elegant and brooding on the palate, refreshing acidity, ripe tannins, lingering, spicy final." Falstaff

"Firm and still austere, with aromas of tar, iron and eucalyptus within an elegant framework. Strong tannins lock in the cherry and berry flavours for the time being. Nonetheless, the fruit is persistent, so give this wine a little more time." Wine Spectator

"Already white truffle, plum and meat on the nose. Medium to full-bodied with firm and chewy tannins that are polished and racy. Needs time to open up. Better after 2026." James Suckling

"The organic Barolo Ceretto 2019 has a juicy cherry and plum flavour that immediately catches the eye and combines with a floral, almost musky note, like a tuberose or something similarly fragrant. The fruit is in the foreground, but the wine also offers sensual flavours accompanied by gentle baking spices, minerals and very fine tannins. The blend of fruit comes from Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, La Morra and Serralunga d'Alba. The style is modern and classic. This is a very generous wine." Wine Advocate

"A classic! This Barolo opens with aromas of wild cherries, macerated raspberries, drying rose, liquorice, clove and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, it shows the regal nature of Nebbiolo with its ripe red fruits balanced by spicy herbs, tobacco and fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast
