Note di degustazione
Immaculately clean and fresh on the nose with a touch of pure polish to it. Rose petals on the nose complement the spice-market edge. Silky and sweet in the mouth with a minty edge to the dark fruit, and a mouthfeel that seduces. This is an exceptionally well-made wine, and there is a great deal of pleasure in the glass. Excellent.

The 2010 Barolo Brunate takes Nebbiolo intensity up a notch thanks to the utter purity and generosity of the bouquet. The wine is aged in French oak, of which 20% is new and 80% is neutral. Always a powerhouse cru, fruit from Brunate tends to be darker and thicker in concentration. This is certainly the case here and you can feel that extra tannic bite on the close. Evolving aromas include white peppercorn, licorice, chopped mint and crushed granite or flint. This is a gorgeous effort. Drink: 2017-2030. Ceretto delivers a seamless performance in 2010 with an impressive succession of top scoring wines across its various vineyard designates. The 2009 lineup showed less consistency, but the 2010 Ceretto wines are nothing short of irresistible. Importer: Winebow, www.winebow.com
La Morra. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Quite ripe with notes of fruitcake. Good acidity but just a tiny bit dry on the finish. (WS)
Ceretto's 2010 Barolo Brunate is strikingly beautiful. Silky and polished to the core, the 2010 graces the palate with exquisite finesse and gorgeous textural balance. Dark red cherries, plums, spices, tobacco and menthol all flesh out in the glass. This is a decidedly polished, resonant Brunate Barolo. Crushed flowers, spices and mint wrap around the finish. There is a level of pure density in the glass that is striking, but the full Brunate signatures are going to take time to fully blossom.
