Note di degustazione
Ceretto presents a fine expression of Barolo (with fruit sourced from various sites) in the 2012 Barolo. The wine is redolent of pressed flowers, cassis, dried raspberry and grilled herb. Lighter, more vertical aromas of cola, smoke, campfire ash, dried ginger and toasted anise seed lift gently from the back. The mouthfeel boasts savory, ripe fruit and offers a distant note of succulent sweetness.

Ceretto's 2012 Barolo is an attractive, entry-level offering. Bright red cherry, cranberry, spice and orange peel lift from the glass in a pretty, mid-weight Barolo that will drink well pretty much upon release. The pliant, textured finish is especially inviting. The straight Barolo is particularly strong in 2012, especially next to the other wines in the range. In 2012, fruit sources are equal parts La Morra and Serralunga.
50% of the grapes come from Ceretto’s cru holdings and 50% from vineyards in Serralunga and La Morra. The cru grapes are fermented with indigenous yeast and aged for one year in barrique (of which 10% is new) followed by one year in large oak casks. The Serralunga-La Morra grapes are fermented in stainless steel while using selected yeast. Total time on the skin was 15 days. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Attractive, sweet cherry nose with a hint of dried fruit. Lovely juicy Nebbiolo fruit with a firm tannic core. (WS)
