Decanter: 92 Punkte
"Straight and tangy, this is shiny and slick with a sleek frame and a drive of red berry fruit from start to finish. Super high acidity, the fruit is almost tart and sour, and then quite massy tannins come in and close down some of the enjoyment, making this quite a serious wine. The two aren't quite in harmony yet - the fresh acidities need to balance a bit more with the powerful tannins. Ends chalky and a little abruptly leaving some toasted spice, cedar and aniseed aspects." - Georgina Hindle (02/2025)

"Pale ruby red in colour, integrated, good length, no need to wait, expressive, plenty of ripe berry fruit, mandarin peel, graphite, edge of caramel oak on the finish, gives a sweetness without being intrusive. Love this, easy to recommend, no need to wait. Winemaker Alessandro Ceretto, from 4.84ha of vines." (02/2025)

"(Barbaresco; from Ceretto’s 4.84 hectares in the Bernadot MGA; 100% Nebbiolo). Pure and ultra-refined with a lovely gracious attack and mid-palate. Black tea leaf, green tea, rosehip and a dustier earthier note too. A hint of freshly scratched leather and a waft of lavender. Fluid, lithe and yet this has impressive density and concentration. Quite ample, rendering this more glacial than you might imagine. Excellent with a lovely tannic pinch to form a beautiful fantail on the finish." - Colin Hay (03/2025)
