James Suckling 92
Perfumed with a rose stem and cherry character. Really aromatic. Medium body, soft and juicy. Very approachable and delicious now. Drink or hold.

Ceretto's 2021 Barbaresco Bernardot is laced with dark cherry, grilled herbs, mint, tobacco and cedar. This is a decidedly floral, earthy Barbaresco endowed with fine balance and plenty of immediacy. This opens beautifully with some air, as the fruit emerges, wrapped by plenty of Bernardot muscle. This is classic Treiso.

Here's the star wine in this flight from Ceretto. The 2021 Barbaresco Bernadot is a beautiful expression with great balance and pretty aromas of bright berry, cherry-cranberry, pressed flower, balsamic aged vinegar, dark fruit and rye biscuit or something with dark grains. The wine shows great acidity and good intensity with a long finish, and it remains sprightly overall, carrying its medium fruit weight with grace. Organic and biodynamic farming methods are used for this 4.8-hectare site.

Dive into the enticing embrace of red fruit aromas, from the vibrant freshness of raspberries to the luscious depth of juicy plums. Revel in the symphony of warmed spices of black pepper to the cinnamon and all in between. Firm and structured, with taut yet velvety tannins, this wine strikes a perfect balance between seriousness and joyful. As it unfolds, delicate notes of crushed red berries and rose petal grace the elegant finish, promising a rewarding evolution with cellar aging.

This red is elegant and eloquent, featuring cherry, raspberry, violet and mineral flavors. Nicely built and harmonious, with a refreshing, complex and lingering finish. Approachable now for its beautiful fruit.

Technical Details
Description
This splendid vineyard, located under the town of Treiso, returning towards the Pertinace hamlet, has been considered for more than a century among the best in the municipality. It can be interpreted as the natural continuation of the Nerve, with which it shares the orientation and position of the land. The vineyard area is enclosed in a small natural amphitheater and this conformation manages to create a particular and favorable microclimate for the vine that is not affected by the considerable height (400 meters in the highest part). Ceretto works in biodynamic agriculture 4.8 hectares of this cru that year after year gives us more and more expressive wines, characterized by an incredible pleasantness and remarkable dynamism.Estate
Among the infinite rows of vines that run across the undulating hills of Piedmont are the four wineries of Ceretto, a wine and spirits company in its third generation. Founded by Riccardo Ceretto in 1937, the highly respected firm is now run by his sons, Bruno and Marcello (dubbed the “Barolo Brothers”) who in the 1960s began raising Ceretto’s profile and expanding its holdings. Now their sons and daughters are at the helm of the Langhe DOC company, which holds a total of 120 hectares of land that are the birthplace of an array of elegant still wines, sparkling wines, dessert wines, and spirits.Tasting notes
