Ceretto – Barolo Bricco Rocche – 2012

The Ceretto family has represented the Langhe territory since 1800, Bruno and Marcello, sons of the founder Riccardo, are the pioneers of a great project focused on revolution and innovation without ever abandoning their roots and trying to make the potential of the territory known worldwide. .
They are among the first in the Langhe to believe in the concept of “cru” and select the vineyards in the historically most suitable positions and in 1986 they are defined as the “Barolo Brothers” by the famous magazine Wine Spectator.
Today the children Lisa, Roberta, Alessandro and Federico have taken over the company and the hectares owned have become 160 and since 2015 the winery has obtained organic certification.
In 1982, the Bricco Rocche winery was built in Castiglione Falletto, in order to make wine from the grapes from its own vineyards in the Barolo area. Bricco Rocche, the smallest of the mentions set between Villero and Rocche di Castiglione, is precisely the perfect combination of austerity and refined elegance. This cru is the monopoly of the Ceretto family where it produces a super limited quantity of a fantastic Barolo of great complexity and aristocratic elegance. 2012, a cooler vintage that gave us great wines played on verticality and slightly rough tannins, but with a pleasant freshness and excellent complexity.
