Barbaresco

By Ceretto, Alba, Piemonte, Italy

Ceretto Barbaresco

Ceretto's classic, traditional-style Barbaresco: a blend of a small parcel of Asili, their youngest-vine holding, with the lower, fuller part of Bernadot in Treiso, built for immediate harmony between the two crus' contrasting characters rather than single-vineyard intensity.

Tasting notes

Bright ruby-garnet with aromas of rose petal, sour cherry, blackberry preserve and a hint of sealing wax and tobacco; juicy, open-knit palate with fine tannins and lively acidity

Pairs well with

Tajarin with meat ragù, braised veal, aged Toma cheese
