Winemaker's Notes:

 This is a soft, smooth, round Barolo. With its moderate tannins, its alcohol and acidity are generally well-balanced. Extraordinarily easy to drink just a few months after bottling, in outstanding vintages it can also be cellared for considerably longer than 10 years.
My Notes:

About Ceretto:

 The Ceretto brothers, Marcello and Bruno, are widely credited for pioneering the modern style of winemaking in the Piedmont region of Italy. Specializing in estate-bottled, single-vineyard wines, they have firmly established themselves among Piedmont's most progressive wine producers.
