This is a beautiful creation from a vintage that threw quite a few challenges at vintners elsewhere in Italy and here in Piedmont. The Ceretto 2017 Barbaresco Bernadot plays up its elegance and its graceful personality. With fruit from an organic and biodynamic 4.8-hectare site in Treiso, planted high at 400 meters above sea, this pretty Barbaresco reveals very specific aromas of wild berry, light spice, licorice and iron rust. These aromas are essential components of the classic Nebbiolo playlist, as is the lightweight, silky texture of this wine. The Bernadot is natural and effortless (aged in mostly neutral oak).

A beam of pure cherry bisects this elegant red, with firm structure giving support. Earth, iron and spice notes add detail. Fine length. Best from 2022 through 2037. 50 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
