Note di degustazione
Really open, rich and complex on the nose, showing dried roses, strawberries and cherries. Full-bodied, layered, rich and flavorful with dried-strawberry, white-truffle and mushroom undertones. Juicy and fruity at the end. A little more opulence than normal. Hard not to drink now, but better after 2022.

Ceretto's classic 2017 Barbaresco opens quickly and nicely in the glass. That playful accessibility is a trait that I found in many of the Barbarescos from this vintage. Compared to the two vineyard-specific expressions (Asili from Barbaresco and Bernadot from Treiso), this wine offers broad brush strokes of wild berry, spice, licorice and iron ore. That's exactly the mission of this wine: It provides an authentic portrait of a grape. Fruit represents a blend from various sites, including young vines from Asili and the lower parts of Bernadot. This wine is poised for near and medium-term drinking.
Ceretto's 2017 Barbaresco is a very pretty wine built on lifted aromatics and mid-weight structure. Floral accents and bright red berry fruit give this ethereal, perfumed Barbaresco tons of appeal. The 2017 looks to be a tasty near-term drinker. Fruit sources are 75% Bernardot and 25% Asili.
Ceretto's 2017 Barbaresco is bright, floral and very nicely lifted, with lovely strawberry and red berry character. Medium in body, and lithe, with good energy, this fragrant Barbaresco will drink well right out of the gate. It will be interesting to see if the 2017 acquires more depth in bottle. Today it is a bit lean, but quite attractive just the same. The 2017 is a blend of 75% Bernardot and 25% Asili fruit.
