Tasting notes
Made with certified organic fruit, the Ceretto 2018 Barolo Bricco Rocche shows thin texture and a mild personality with subtle aromas of dried rose, cassis and crushed stone. This vintage is more subdued for sure, but it's silky and accessible as well. Compared to past editions, this wine shows a shy set of aromas. I’ve opened the drinking window to allow for more time for its evolution.

The 2018 Barolo Bricco Rocche possesses terrific depth and creaminess, especially within the context of this small-scaled vintage. Silky, aromatic and so expressive, the Bricco Rocche fills out beautifully with a bit of time in the glass. There's terrific presence and class here.
Castiglione Falletto. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Distinctly minerally and with great purity of fruit under the saline hints. Generous raspberry and strawberry fruit with bags of powdery tannins on the finish. Closes up fast, but already hugely appealing even if it needs more age to come to full bloom. Long and fruit-driven and still light of touch. (WS)
