Ceretto Barbaresco 2019 (75cl, 14%)

A red wine from Barbaresco in Piedmont, made entirely from Nebbiolo and bottled at 14% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The Ceretto family's Nebbiolo vineyards were converted to biodynamic agriculture from 2009, with organic certification from the 2015 vintage, and this Barbaresco is aged in large oak casks in the traditional Piedmontese style. The nose brings crushed violet, ripe red cherry, wild berries, rosehip, damp earth, white pepper and mint. The palate shows dried rose petal, sour cherry, licorice, tobacco and leather, with a long, silky finish and polished tannins.
