| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by SpoochMan on 6/6/2020 & rated 91 points: Last bottle of winery purchase in 2015. Consistent with previous notes. Drinking well now, but still could have gone at least a couple of years more. (1198 views) | | | Tasted by SpoochMan on 6/26/2019 & rated 92 points: This bottle was drinking really well. Surprisingly youthful with plenty of fruit and still pretty decent tannic structure. I think the drinking window on this goes well past 2020. However, we bought our bottles directly at the winery a few years ago, so it is possible that they have held up better than bottles on the secondary market. No hurry to drink the last bottle over the next 2-3 years.

Nose of explosives red fruits, jamy and fresh like the beggin of a home made jam. Mouth dense full of fruit with shy sap, perfect tannins. Ending super class with black cheeries, mineral crushed nuts and a kind of caramel spirits. Ready now. I 'm not a nebbiolo fan but that is good ! (2041 views) | | | Tasted by SpoochMan on 3/10/2017 & rated 92 points: Tasted and bought this at the winery in summer of 2015. This bottle was drinking very nicely now. Good balance of fruit and acidity and some earth, quite food friendly. I got just a bit of heat as it warmed to room temp so I preferred to drink it at 55-60 deg. This might still smooth out a bit with more time, and should have at least 5 years left. No hurry to drink at all, but also quite approachable now. (2590 views) | | | Tasted by bengti on 4/27/2016 & rated 94 points: Very good spot now. A very faint nose of slight camphor, dew, jet fuel. On the palette, very vigorous, fresh berries, cherries, dark chocolate, meat with powerful warm alcohol to drive the flavours through. Secondary flavours of candied, toffee-ed apricots, leather, burnt orange rind. A good, quite long finish that carries these flavours right down the throat. Thoroughly satisfying. So far the best of a mixed case of Ceretto, alongside the Muscato D'Asti. (2470 views) | | | Tasted by Kriz on 11/16/2015 & rated 89 points: Nose with leather, tar and spicy warmth. Big palate, 'warm' tannic, but beautiful. Alcoholic sharpness and some unpleasant hard tones. Not ready yet. (2563 views) | | | Tasted by englishman's claret on 10/28/2015 & rated 93 points: Rose, plum, gently spicy - undertones of ink, meat. Dense nose, beautiful perfume. 25 year old vines; 1 year barrique, 1 year cask, 1 year bottle. (2595 views) | | | Tasted by Goldstone on 5/4/2015 & rated 89 points: Dinner party gift from a friend. Minimally decanted....which did it no favours. Young in colour and warmly pleasing but basicaly closed on the nose. Palate is rich, ripe, sultry fruit, new oak in its good way.......overall, I could summarise it as young but very succulent. Fun to drink now with food but can only improve over the next few years.....although not, I suspect, in line with its current price point. (2270 views) | | | Tasted by RaphaelMalago on 4/14/2015 & rated 90 points: Got this bottle at the estate in Piedmont and brought it back to taste at home. A great wine still young and not open. Intense aroma of roses, dry red fruits, a touch of sandalwood. Still from the modern era with a little too much extraction and barrique aromas but it should reward some years of cellaring. Medium + accidity and tannins, polished. (1557 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 7/14/2013 & rated 88 points: Bright on the palate , but not much on the nose. Dried flowers and cherry cough syrup. (2152 views) | | | Tasted by Debernini on 5/1/2013 & rated 92 points: Quite impressive. A couple of years will help a lot... (1879 views) | | | Tasted by yofog on 4/24/2013 & rated 90 points: Quite layered. Really excellent. (1847 views) | | | Tasted by Priorat Lover on 2/20/2013 & rated 95 points: Had this at Picolo Sogno in Chicago. Beautiful nose of flowers and spice. Complex layers of fruit leading to a long, wonderful finish. One of the best wines I've had in a while. (1831 views) | | | Tasted by DonalOB on 2/3/2013 & rated 91 points: Italian and Spanish tasting (Watson's, Hong Kong): Rich, smooth with a nice cherry nose. Balanced on the palate with good tannins. Patty's favourite. (2373 views) |

| Azienda Bricco Asili (Ceretto) Producer websiteNebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.
