Winemaker's Notes:

 What an amazing price for a Barolo! This 100% Nebbiolo from Piedmont would grace any cellar. Its a deep garnet color. Soft, harmonious and velvety with lingering bouquet. Well rounded, and not too tannic. Recommended with hearty roasts, stews, game and other red meats.
My Notes:

About Ceretto:

 For more than 80 years, the Ceretto family has been making wine in Piedmont's Langhe region of Italy and has set the benchmark for quality among Barolo and Barbaresco producers. The family is most well known for producing coveted single-vineyard Nebbiolo wines and introducing high-quality Arneis and Moscato. Today, the Ceretto name is synonymous with estate-grown, carefully produced wines, each expressing purity and elegance.
