Ceretto – Barbaresco Bernadot – 2021
A very iconic Barbaresco because of the history it represents, produced by the winery since as far back as 1997 this is the only case of the Bernadot vineyard, which has always been considered excellent and vinified in purity as an example of the excellent work done over the years. This is a hill in the commune of Treiso that enjoys a good high southwest exposure around 400 meters formed mainly by sandy calcareous soils from which refined wines with rougher tannins and good complexity are produced. Targeted harvesting of the best grapes with subsequent fermentation on the skins in steel tanks after which there is aging in medium and large oak barrels for 24 months with subsequent rest in the bottle. The result is a purely traditional wine in sensations with enchanting aromatic profile of red fruit and flowers followed by a harmonious palate without exceeding in elegance or complexity but maintaining an interesting balance between acidity and tannins. Try it!

Description
Since their birth in the 1800s, the Ceretto family has represented the Langhe territory in a unique and avant-garde way. Since the 1950s, Bruno and Marcello, sons of founder Riccardo Ceretto, have been the pioneers of a grand project focused on revolution and innovation without ever abandoning their roots, indeed seeking to make the potential of the territory and the Nebbiolo grape known worldwide. They were among the first in the Langhe to believe in the concept of “Cru” and select vineyards in the historically most suitable positions, undertaking the first pure vinifications, causing a stir and fame in the wine world by being called “Barolo Brothers” by the famous Wine Spectator magazine in 1986. Today their children Lisa, Roberta, Alessandro and Federico have taken over the winery, making a further qualitative leap by increasing to 160 the hectares of property cultivating Arneis, Moscato, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo: the latter in some of the best plots such as Bricco Rocche, Brunate and Prapo’ in DOCG Barolo while Gallina,Asili and Bernadot in DOCG Barbaresco. Since 2015, the winery has obtained organic certification thanks to the great work of environmental conservation, natural practices in the vineyard through techniques such as green manure, search for the best bunches and minimal interventions in the cellar to achieve cleanliness and purity in the wines. A vocation theirs, surprising and unceasing.
