Tasting notes
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.

Translucent ruby red colour, bright reflections, ready to dive into, so delicate and just incredibly drinkable, takes you into the heart of what we love about Barolo. Savoury, mouthwatering, lace-like tannins with plenty of grip underneath, a ton of redcurrant and raspberry fruits, white pepper and cumin spice, thoroughly charming from a 5.6ha vineyard located between the towns of La Morra and Barolo. Alessandro Ceretto winemaker.
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.
