Very classic Barolo with complex style, a lot of spice among licorice, bark, incense, dried flowers, wild strawberries and red cherries, balsamic and slightly earthy. Medium- to full-bodied with firm velvety tannins, ripe and approachable, refreshing and savory with graphite and licorice depth. Thick, mattery yet balanced. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The Ceretto 2022 Barolo, made with certified organic fruit, does a good job in a challenging vintage of delivering balance and overall harmony. A blend of estate vineyards, the wine is aged for one year in 300-liter French oak barrels, followed by two years in larger French oak casks and a final year in bottle before release. It offers aromas of wild berry, plum, baking spice and blue flower over a medium-bodied palate with a lean texture and just enough tannic definition to pair effortlessly with creamy or cheese-based dishes.
