Score 93/100 · Drink 2025-2038, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Apr 2024

The Ceretto 2020 Barolo Bricco Rocche has ripe fruit, perfumed wood, sticky cherry, lady's perfume, lilac, passion flower and good acidity, and the wine finishes on a sour note. This hot vintage does not live up to some of the exceptional editions of Bricco Rocche we have seen in the recent past like in 2016 and 2019. It lacks the fight and grit that those cooler vintages delivered so well. This 2020 vintage feels more monotone overall; although it does have Nebbiolo high notes, the volume is turned down a little.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2038, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Feb 2024

A monopole 1.46ha vineyard completing this lovely trio of wines from the Ceretto family. Orange peel, rosebud and raspberry leaf, steely minerality, a little subdued suggesting higher structure than the other two in the lineup, offering balance and finesse, and a mouthwatering finish. Totally charming, with curls of sage and woodsmoke. Winemaking Alessandro Ceretto, from Barolo's smallest MGA.

This full-bodied, brawny wine is built for aging. Firm tannins wrap around red plums, iron, balsam and wet stones for a very dry, appetizing and bracing mouthfeel. The wine will soften and gain amazing complexity with time. Try from 2026 and beyond.

The 2020 Barolo Bricco Rocche is powerful, tannic and quite closed. This embryonic Barolo is going to need time to come together, as it is quite reticent today. It shows darker fruit, energy and more body than the Rocche di Castiglione. Scorched earth, leather, spice and crushed flowers linger on the driving finish.
