This is really floral on the nose, with blueberries, blackberries and touches of asphalt and cedar. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with blue fruit flavors, sophisticated polished tannins and a clean, linear finish. Already great, but it should evolve nicely over the next couple of years.

The 2021 Barolo Bricco Rocche captures all the best the vintage had to offer. Powerful and yet sensual, with superb balance, the Bricco Rocche is not the showiest wine in the range, but it does offer terrific persistence and dynamic energy. Beams of tannin and clean mineral undertones extend the finish. The 2021 is compelling in every way.

This is the grande dame in the Ceretto portfolio. The organic 2021 Barolo Bricco Rocche draws its fruit from one of my favorite slopes in Castiglione Falletto that always delivers extreme sharpness and focus. Indeed, this is one of the smallest MGAs in the appellation (maybe the smallest?), and the Ceretto family has the monopoly. Bricco Rocche sits at 350 to 370 meters in elevation with southeastern and southwestern exposures and a mix of sand, silt and clay soils. The wine opens gracefully to reveal redcurrant, blue flower and crushed stone over a very firm, mid-weight finish fueled by long, silky tannins. A pop of bright acidity seals the deal.

Pretty cherry and raspberry fruit leads off, with rose hip, menthol and iron accents filling the spaces. Tightens up on the finish yet remains vibrant and long, with terrific length and a red fruit sequel. Classy and complex.
