Tasting note
Ceretto's 2021 Barbaresco DOCG should bring Nebbiolo aromas of rose, sour cherry and orange peel, layered with subtle earth. Expect a firm but graceful palate, acidity lifting the red fruit and tannins giving it a lasting, lightly drying structure. The projected peak runs from 2029 through 2038, within a drinking range to 2044. A persistent finish should leave cherry, tea and savory spice.
