Ceretto Barolo Bricco Rocche 2019
Standard - 75cl
Wine Critic Reviews
Beautifully fragrant on the nose, pink and red floral tones, lots of rose and violet elements with some almond marzipan flecks. Smooth, succulent and supple, this balances density with sleekness, giving firm and slightly meaty tannins that grip and take hold with an overall fresh and streamlined core. Tannins are definitely at the fore, they fill the mouth and leave the powdery sensation on the tongue, while the flavours slowly expand and penetrate around the mouth giving the width and aeration. A slow burner that needs time to settle and show its brilliance, refined, delicate yet concentrated and just so multifaceted. The minerality, strawberry and raspberry, salt, smoke, tobacco, dried herbs and powdery white pepper elements come together so harmoniously. Sharp, sprightly, svetle, sexy, seductive - this has it all! Less than 2,000 bottles produced. First time on the Place de Bordeaux this year. Director Federico Ceretto, oenologist Alessandro Ceretto.

The Ceretto 2019 Barolo Bricco Rocche is made with organic fruit from Castiglione Falletto, one of the villages that performs best, generally speaking, and specifically in this classic vintage. The bouquet is layered and rich with ripe cherry and crème de cassis. There are savory tones of iron ore and grilled herb. It offers a silky mouthfeel with elegant mineral nuances. Overall, this wine shows impeccable precision and beautiful definition. This is one for your cellar.

The 2019 Barolo Bricco Rocche is fabulous, and also one of the best wines I have tasted in more than 20 years of visiting. Soaring aromatics and bright, layered fruit all meld together in a Barolo of uncommon elegance. Dried flowers, spice, tobacco and cedar are all wonderfully alive in the glass. This potent, virile Barolo is simply lights out. Elegance and power are rarely well integrated in a young Barolo. The 2019 is a wine of real breadth and resonance. Superb.
