Ceretto Brunate – Barolo DOCG – Red – 2019 – 1500 ml:

 

The Ceretto Barolo Brunate DOCG stands as an iconic Italian fine wine, representing the pinnacle of Piedmontese winemaking from the historic Brunate Cru. Ceretto’s meticulous approach results in a Nebbiolo that marries the structure and depth required for a Grand Cru with an inherent elegance, making it a highly sought-after addition to any discerning UK collector’s cellar.

Tasting Profile

• Colour: Intense garnet, developing brick-red edges as it evolves in the bottle.
• Nose: Profound and layered. Expect classic notes of dried flowers (rose), licorice, leather, and dark red fruit, with a distinctive earthy core that hints at truffle and forest floor.
• Palate: The structure is formidable, yet the texture is surprisingly silken-a hallmark of the La Morra sub-region. It possesses firm, powerful tannins that are beautifully refined, leading to a long, savoury finish that promises decades of cellar potential.

Food Matching & Decanting

This wine is a superb match for classic British and Italian game dishes. We strongly recommend decanting for at least two hours before serving at 16-18°C.

• Recommended Pairings: Classic Beef Wellington, Venison Loin with Juniper, Roast Partridge, Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Maturity: Ready to drink now after decanting, but will continue to improve over 20-30 years.
