CERETTO BAROLO BRICCO ROCCHE 18

The Ceretto winery was established by Riccardo Ceretto in the 1930’s. In 1968, Riccardo’s sons, Bruno & Marcello, purchased their first estate-owned vineyard Bricco Asili in Barbaresco, which was the start of many extraordinary vineyards and wineries to come. The third-generation children of Bruno and Marcello, Lisa, Roberta, Alessandro and Federico, joined the company in 1999. Federico currently sits as the company’s CEO, Roberta its Marketing Director, and Alessandro is Head of winemaking for the family’s four Langhe estates. Focused on sustainability, in 2015 all wines obtained the organic certification in the EU and the family farms many of its vineyards biodynamically as well. Today, the focus of the Ceretto family continues to be on fine wine production, in addition to gourmet food offerings, singular hospitality experiences and contemporary art.

Tasting Notes:
With a textured mouthfeel and incredibly long finish, the wine’s firm tannins intertwine flawlessly with rich flavors of anis seed, tobacco, chocolate covered cherries and wet flint.
