Ceretto

About Ceretto

Founded in the 1930s by Riccardo Ceretto, the great man’s eponymous “azienda vinicola” did not own any vineyards throughout its formative years, instead of focusing singularly on the vinification of grapes purchased from growers across the region.

Taking the youthful boldness and vision, Riccardo’s sons embarked on a project of ambitious purchasing. In the 1960s, Bruno and Marcello were highly attuned to the winds of change, which would see a deepened appreciation for terroir in all its glorious subtly and peculiarities.

The 1960s saw the brothers begin their epic Odyssey of mapping, studying and finally purchasing swathes of the greatest vineyards available. Truly avant-garde in the region, this foresight has paid dividends when one considers both the extent of Ceretto holdings and the sublime wines crafted from these individual terroirs. Neither brother left the region after their great expansion – remarkably, 2020 saw Marcello celebrate his 60th harvest amongst the vines in the heat, rain and wind shoulder to shoulder with fellow pickers.

Viniculture

In Barbaresco, the “Queen” to Barolo’s “King”, Ceretto owns and sources grapes from; Asili, famed for its silky tannins - Pajoré, a high-altitude limestone site in Treiso - Rabajà, with its dark fruits and muscular structure and Santo Stefano, arguably the single greatest Barbaresco vineyard of them all.

A model of exceptional management, the third generation of Ceretto vignerons have inherited a second Eden planted with transcendent vines in the shadow of the mountains – a testament to this philosophy, the entire range of Ceretto wines is certified organic as of 2015.

Ceretto Barbaresco 2016 (6x75cl) HK$3,330.00
2016	Ceretto Barbaresco 2016 (6x75cl) Vinous (92) Ceretto's entry-level 2016 Barbaresco has all of the energy and vibrancy it showed as a barrel sample. The 2016 is not big or obvious, instead it offers superb persistence and striking balance. Sweet red cherry, mint, pine, licorice and candied orange peel all grace this exquisite entry-level Barbaresco from Ceretto. The straight Barbaresco is a blend of approximately 65% Bernardot and 35% Asili from younger vines and lower, less well-exposed parcels.

Ceretto Barbaresco 2017 (6x75cl) HK$2,270.00
2017	Ceretto Barbaresco 2017 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (93) Ceretto's classic 2017 Barbaresco opens quickly and nicely in the glass. That playful accessibility is a trait that I found in many of the Barbarescos from this vintage. Compared to the two vineyard-specific expressions (Asili from Barbaresco and Bernadot from Treiso), this wine offers broad brush strokes of wild berry, spice, licorice and iron ore. That's exactly the mission of this wine: It provides an authentic portrait of a grape. Fruit represents a blend from various sites, including young vines from Asili and the lower parts of Bernadot. This wine is poised for near and medium-term drinking. Estimated Arrival to United Kingdom: 3-4 months	Piedmont	6x75cl	7	93 (WA) Read Review/Description	HK$2,270.00

2018	Ceretto Barbaresco 2018 (6x75cl) Vinous (89) The 2018 Barbaresco is a very pretty, ethereal wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, spice, tobacco, cedar and mint are all laced together in this super-classy Barbaresco. The 2018 is gorgeous today and will drink well for another decade.

2019	Ceretto Barbaresco 2019 (6x75cl) Vinous (90-92) The 2019 Barbaresco is bright and nicely focused. Crushed red berry fruit, cedar, tobacco and spice are lifted. Veins of supporting tannin and acid give this mid-weight, nervy Barbaresco lovely energy. The 2019 is elegant and also quite promising.

Ceretto Barolo 2016 (6x75cl) HK$2,260.00
2016	Ceretto Barolo 2016 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (95+) Ceretto offers a tour de force in the 2016 vintage with four excellent single-vineyard expressions from Bricco Rocche, Bussia, Brunate and Prapò. If you can't choose between those wines, you always have this excellent fallback. The classic 2016 Barolo offers dark intensity with great aromatic detailing. Fruit and some floral notes are followed by ferrous notes and a good amount of powdered licorice. The aromas are delicate and fragile; however, the wine deftly hides its power within the soft folds of its slender, mid-weight mouthfeel. This is a perfect go-to Barolo when you can't choose from all the excellent options in this benchmark 2016 vintage. This wine, like the others, hit the market in May 2020.

1999	Ceretto Barolo Bricco Rocche 1999 (1x150cl) Vinous (92) The best of these three wines, the 1999 Barolo Bricco Rocche has held up relatively well. Here too, the flavors are a bit forward, but all of the components seem to be aging at more or less the same pace. Overall, the Bricco Rocche is a solid effort for this era at Ceretto.

Ceretto Barolo Bricco Rocche 2016 (6x75cl) HK$8,825.00
2016	Ceretto Barolo Bricco Rocche 2016 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (98+) These back-to-back vintages, 2015 and 2016, deliver knockout performances. The Ceretto 2016 Barolo Bricco Rocche has always been one of the benchmark wines in this revered portfolio. It offers a lovely bouquet that explores some of the more nuanced sides of Nebbiolo that veer into the realms of rose, ash, tar and smoke. These pretty little details frame a solid core of berry fruit, cassis and dried cherry. One of the most distinctive aspects of this wine is the mouthfeel, which manages to impart its power and length without subtracting from its profound elegance. Fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare site owned by the Ceretto family, with sandstone soils at 350 to 370 meters above sea level. This is a Barolo to remember—and save in your cellar.

2018	Ceretto Barolo Bricco Rocche 2018 (6x75cl) James Suckling (95) Ripe red berries on the nose, together with some bitter-orange marmalade and spice. If you dig deep down, there’s an emerging note of truffle. Lovely, nascent complexity that’s also reflected on the medium-to full-bodied palate, which is tightly packed with all the goodies that the nose promised. The tannins firm up a bit at the end and need to soften a little to get full enjoyment. But so tempting now! Try from 2024.

Ceretto Barolo Brunate 2013 (6x75cl) HK$6,155.00
2013	Ceretto Barolo Brunate 2013 (6x75cl) Vinous (96) Like the Prapò, the Barolo Brunate is much less expressive than it was immediately after bottling. Gracious and super-classic in feel, the Brunate has a lot to offer. In the glass, the wine is delicate and sensual. Even so, its best days are far off into the future. The Brunate is the least expressive of Ceretto's 2013 Barolos today. Then again, that is Brunate.

Ceretto Barolo Brunate 2016 (6x75cl) HK$5,620.00
2016	Ceretto Barolo Brunate 2016 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (97) I wasn't sure how to order my tasting flight of Ceretto's four single-vineyard Baroli (from Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba), so I decided to start with this wine from Brunate in La Morra, at the heart of the appellation. The 2016 Barolo Brunate shows a dark core of fruit, and you are immediately aware of the depth and profound nature of this wine. The bouquet is lifted by cassis, wild cherry and plum. The ferrous quality that we saw in some of the other wines is softer here, and I would describe Brunate as the most fruit-forward (at this young stage) with elegant tannins and impactful fruit weight on the finish. All of these wines are aged in new oak (just 10% of the total) and used oak barrel (90%) for the first 12 months. After that, the wine is racked into Austrian oak casks for an additional two years before going into bottle for one more year.

Understated and gracious, the 2018 presents an especially quiet side of this famed cru. Time brings out exotic fruits, rose petal and spice notes that are utterly beguiling.

The mouthfeel is extremely polished and silky. Like other Barolos from Ceretto, it almost seems a shame to distract attention from this craftsmanship with flavors from a heavy meal, and so it might be better to cellar it for a decade and then celebrate it with fine cheeses or pâté.

2017	Ceretto Bricco Asili Barbaresco Asili 2017 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (95) Ceretto enjoys a long and close relationship with the Asili cru of Barbaresco. The winery has chosen to fermented these grapes apart since the early 1970s. Their 2017 Barbaresco Asili brings you close to a sense of place. Fruit comes from a 1.3-hectare site with classic Sant'Agata marl soils. Beyond the dark fruit, much of the bouquet recalls crushed stone and iron rust, with other territory-specific aromas that are characteristic of Nebbiolo in its most naked state. You feel a touch of earthiness too, thanks to those slightly looser, open-knit tannins. Shaved truffle, dried blackberry and pressed rose seal the deal.
