Tasting notes:

Aged in French oak barrels for 24 months. Aromas of flowers, plum and red berry fruit underscored by notes of truffles and smoke. Opulent, rich and elegant on the palate with soft and silky tannins.

Producer description:

Ceretto is a family-owned winery in the heart of Langhe. Founded by Riccardo Ceretto in 1937, they acquired some great sites in Barolo and Barbaresco over the years and now produce single-vineyard wines which have been critically acclaimed. They ferment their wines with indigenous yeasts, use shorter skin contact during the maceration and age their wines in a mix of barrique and small botte to capture the best expressions of the Nebbiolo varietals.

Critic Scores

Vinous | 92

The 2018 Barbaresco Bernardot comes across as relatively quiet in this vintage, but that is the personality of the year. There is good depth and creaminess, and yet the volume is very much dialed down. Dark cherry, spice, leather and mint build into the understated finish.

Robert Parker | 94

With fruit from Treiso, the Ceretto 2018 Barbaresco Bernadot shows a graceful, mid-weight approach to the vintage with red and purple fruits that are crisp and fresh. The bouquet is a sounding board for cassis, sour cherry, camphor ash, crushed stone and powdered licorice. Bernadot reveals a firm textural fiber and lasting, silky intensity.
