Ceretto – Barolo Prapò – 2018

This vineyard in Serralunga has always been an icon for the Ceretto family as in the words of one of its owners Federico “it represents ecstasy for Nebbiolo lovers.” Prapo’ is one of the last certified Cru of the appellation recognizing the distinctiveness of its soils (it would be the lower continuation of Cerretta), southeast exposure with 50-year-old vines and very calcareous soils for tannic and powerful wines. Grapes that are vinified on the skins in steel tanks that continue with aging in barrels for 24 months followed by another 24 months in the bottle. Few words for a graceful wine, balsamic and earthy notes, very forthright to drink with dry but persistent tannins to the end that highlight its austerity and aging potential.

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 and Asili 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 the Sovescio technique, the 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.
