Tasting note

Barolo Nebbiolo should open with red cherry, rose and dried orange peel, with an earthy note adding aromatic depth. Ceretto's 2020 wine is expected to feel taut and finely built, its persistent tannins framing the fruit while fresh acidity carries the palate forward. Its window begins in 2028, with a peak stretch from 2031 through 2042 and a horizon to 2048; the finish should reveal spice and savory earth.
