Description

Discover Ceretto, an iconic name synonymous with the prestigious crus of Barolo and Barbaresco. Rooted in a passion that took root in 1937 with Riccardo Ceretto, this family legacy unfolded with sons Bruno and Marcello in the 60s, who, inspired by Burgundy, embraced a groundbreaking approach, recognizing each vineyard as a unique "Cru" with distinct characteristics. Today, this philosophy endures, with the family's children continuing the legacy across four wineries in Langhe and Roero. Their commitment to the land is unwavering, spanning 160ha, including 12ha in Barolo and 8ha in Barbaresco appellations. Embracing environmental responsibility, Ceretto achieved organic certification in 2015.

Enter Bernadot, a hymn to the beauty of Nebbiolo, nestled in the upper part of Treiso within the Barbaresco appellation. Acquired in the 90s, this 4.80ha vineyard, planted at an altitude of 400m, showcases the family's foresight. The 2020 vintage of Bernadot is a Barbaresco that beautifully balances classic soul with the allure of a sweet nose and succulent mouthfeel, presenting an exquisite explosion of red berries, grenadine, and iris in the glass—an irresistible temptation without excess concentration. Ceretto's commitment to excellence continues to unfold, crafting wines that stand as a testament to their rich history and enduring dedication to the land.

Bright ruby garnet with a flint core. On the nose lush raspberries and sugared strawberries, some pomegranate, some truffle. On the palate a red berry core and slightly creamy texture, shows plenty of fine-meshed tannin as it progresses, seems very polished, describes a long arc.
