This 2016 Barolo from Ceretto’s Bricco Rocche cru, a celebrated vintage, reveals an intense and complex aromatic profile. Expect notes of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals, interwoven with classic Nebbiolo characteristics of licorice, tar, and forest floor. Hints of mint and spice add further intrigue. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful yet remarkably elegant, with firm but refined tannins and bright, refreshing acidity. Flavors of red fruit, plum, and savory minerality lead to a very long, persistent finish that echoes with spice and a grippy, structured elegance.
