Ceretto Bricco Rocche: The Pinnacle of Piedmontese Elegance

Hailing from the prestigious Bricco Rocche Cru-a tiny, exclusive vineyard (Monopole) owned solely by the Ceretto family-this Barolo DOCG is a masterpiece of 100% Nebbiolo. It represents the height of Piedmontese winemaking, showcasing tremendous structure, aromatic intensity, and potential for decades of ageing. This is an investment bottle and a true luxury indulgence, a definitive statement wine for the sophisticated cellar.

Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Deep garnet hue, with a clear brilliance that hints at its profound concentration.
• Aroma: Highly complex and captivating, featuring classic notes of dried rose petals, goudron (tar), macerated cherry, sweet spice, and a whisper of truffle and cedar.
• Taste: Full-bodied and authoritative. The tannins are firm and plentiful, yet velvety, seamlessly integrating with the wine’s high acidity. The palate delivers deep layers of savory, spicy, and fruit-driven notes, culminating in a magnificent, lengthy, and harmonious finish.

Food Matching & Decanting

To fully appreciate its complexity, this Barolo must be decanted for at least 120 minutes and served at 18°C. Match it with equally robust and sophisticated cuisine.

• Matches: Venison Loin with rich berry reduction, Traditional Roast Beef with all the trimmings, Truffle Pasta dishes, Mature hard cheeses (e.g., aged Cheddar or Stilton).
