Barolo Brunate
WBSS 2025 Crest Image

Boldly aromatically, this Barolo has all the hallmarks of quality Nebbiolo; a perfumed nose of rose-petals and earl-grey underscores sour cherry and strawberry fruit. A refreshing palate with rosehips and a meaty earthiness alongside dry, grippy tannins and a very present acidity giving backbone and structure. Bravo Ceretto family!

Barolo Brunate

An aura of pure hedonism

For forty years, we have been making wine from the fruit of two extensive plots, located primarily just next to the colourful chapel decorated by Sol Lewitt and David Tremlett.

From the very beginning, the goal was to convey, as directly as possible, the blessings of a vineyard that proves to be the mother of naturally seductive wines. Indeed, the Barolos of Brunate stand out, aromatic, bold, and supple, right from the start.

There is a carousel of flowers on the nose, accompanied by ethereal accents in the generous vintages, or by a range of citrus notes in the fresher years. In its youth, the wine is infused with fruit that seems sweet and whole, with tannins that enliven the mouthfeel and restore tension, without losing smoothness upon tasting. It is maturity, however, that paints a precious portrait, with all the autumnal tones and hints of smokiness. There is an aura of pure hedonism that permeates the top of this hill.

Tasting
NOTES

Impressive array of aromas; dried raspberries and strawberries, sour cherries, pronounced dried rose petals, mushrooms, earl grey and the zest of dried oranges. Refreshing palate with generous red fruits, a meaty earthiness, rosehips and rowan berries. Dry, slightly grippy tannins and a very present acidity give the wine backbone and structure whilst warming alcohol aids drinkability. This is a complex, youthful wine that will benefit from further ageing.

Food
PAIRINGS

This youthful Barolo is not yet ready for game, so enjoy with ribeye steak and black truffle, or lamb fillet and lamb belly with salsa verde.
