Tasting notes
The organic 2020 Barbaresco Bernadot offers a darker fruit performance with black cherry and blackcurrant. Like the other wines from this hot and sunny vintage, you taste the ripeness of the fruit and some background softness that comes with the territory (and the growing season). The Ceretto team delivers a deft hand, and you'll notice the etched sharpness and focus of the wine in terms of mouthfeel.

Treiso. Lustrous, youthful ruby. Serious cherry- and strawberry-fruit nose that is still a little subdued. Stunning lightness of touch yet long and concentrated, with long, finely chiselled tannins. Super-elegant and wired at the same time. (WS)
Very floral with orange blossom, iron, cedar, and dried spice. Medium body, firm and slightly lean in the middle palate. Firm and racy. Lightly chewy. Needs a couple of years to soften. Drink after 2025.
A delicious Barbaresco from Alessandro Ceretto, fully showcasing that unparalleled Italian ability to deliver a juicy wine that is both delicate and intense, and so food-friendly. Mandarin peel, raspberry, red cherry, fennel, fine and delicate tannins, welcoming and mouthwatering. First time on the Place for this 4.84ha vineyard in Treiso, and it's one to seek out.
