Description

In the late 1980s, the Ceretto family stumbled upon a charming old farmstead nestled on the outskirts of Alba. With meticulous care and a vision for excellence, they gradually transformed this historic property into the central hub of their operations. This enchanting estate, named Monsordo Bernardina and steeped in the romantic legacy of Vittorio Emanuele II and the captivating Rosina, swiftly evolved into the epicenter of the company's endeavors.

Within a short span, Monsordo Bernardina became the focal point not only for the production and refinement of some of the most distinguished wine labels but also for crucial administrative and commercial activities. It houses the bustling offices and a well-organized warehouse, providing a seamless integration of the artistic and business aspects of winemaking.

Surrounding this haven is a sprawling expanse of over 30 hectares of vineyards, boasting a harmonious blend of traditional and international grape varieties. These vineyards stand as a testament to the Ceretto family's unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability, where every grape is cultivated with a deep sense of responsibility towards the land and its resources.

A classic! This Barolo opens with aromas of wild cherries, macerated raspberries, drying rose, licorice, clove and subtle earth notes. Refined on the palate, it shows the regal nature of Nebbiolo with its ripe red fruits balanced by savory herbs, tobacco and fine-grained tannins
