2019 Barolo, Bricco Rocche, Ceretto, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Ceretto’s Barolo Bricco Rocche comes from a 1.5ha vineyard, the smallest defined MGA in Barolo, and a Ceretto monopole. “Bricco” is local dialect for the highest point or peak of a hill, and this striking vineyard lies in the heart of the Castiglione Falletto designation. Facing south-east, it adjoins the famous Villero, but is a cooler site than its neighbour. The wine has a lifted, cool perfume that carries all the way to the palate, where it delivers a deep and impressive focus. All of this is achieved with a welcoming, gentle gloss of ripeness. This is something rather special.

Critics reviews

Monica Larner 97+/100
The Ceretto 2019 Barolo Bricco Rocche is made with organic fruit from Castiglione Falletto, one of the villages that performs best, generally speaking, and specifically in this classic vintage. The bouquet is layered and rich with ripe cherry and crème de cassis. There are savory tones of iron ore and grilled herb. It offers a silky mouthfeel with elegant mineral nuances. Overall, this wine shows impeccable precision and beautiful definition. This is one for your cellar.Drink 2025-2048monica_larner, Wine Advocate (August 2023)

Lots of fresh roses and dried strawberries. Full-bodied and powerful with lots of tannins, yet they are fine and polished. Excellent length. A classic Barolo with the structure and beautiful freshness you expect for long term aging. Give it at least five to six years to come together. Try after 2028.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (July 2023)

The 2019 Barolo Bricco Rocche is fabulous, and also one of the best wines I have tasted in more than 20 years of visiting. Soaring aromatics and bright, layered fruit all meld together in a Barolo of uncommon elegance. Dried flowers, spice, tobacco and cedar are all wonderfully alive in the glass. This potent, virile Barolo is simply lights out. Elegance and power are rarely well integrated in a young Barolo. The 2019 is a wine of real breadth and resonance. Superb.Drink 2029-2044antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2022)

Mid ruby with orange tinges. Looks a little more mature than the rest of their Barolos of the same vintage. Ripe fruit oscillates between raspberry and damson with spicy minerality and cardamon. Voluminous fruit with an elegant palate weight. Lush and richly tannicDrink 2024-2038Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com (November 2022)
