Description
Ceretto’s Bernadot vineyard is found just below the village of Treiso, on the highest area where the slopes are incredibly steep and completely south-facing, resulting in a wine full of tension and complexity. The soil is similar to Serralunga in Barolo but with more clay to round out those classic sandy tannins.
The nose has tobacco spice and hints of lavender, while the palate has both incredibly concentrated dried fruits and a fresh salinity, culminating in a grippy, savoury finish. A big wine that shines in the juicy 2020 vintage, built to improve for decades to come.

Critics reviews
Drink 2023 to 2034.
Beautiful florality and almost baked cherry sweets - cherry drops - on the nose, rose, Caramac bars, vanilla, white chocolate and lavender - an infusion of sweet, fruit and floral elements. Statuesque on the palate, ripe and massy, but so well textured - like crushed velvet with a powdery and also fleshy aspect to the tannins so they expand and fill the mouth and leave a lingering chalky, powdery salinity on the tongue and cheeks. Round, ample yet defined and detailed, so much going on but with no one element overpowering another building to a really impressive overall impression. Acidity is beautiful, and there are cola flecks that give the freshness and savoury touch. The power shines at the end where the tannins constrict and just grip the final flavour, so you know this is a big wine with long ageing potential. A delicious addition to the Place de Bordeaux this year.
