| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by maxbld on 5/20/2023 & rated 97 points: Superb. Probably the best barbaresco I ever tasted and I tasted a few. Awesome flowery scent. Perfect balance of tannins and body in the mouth. Incredible persistentcy. An unforgettable experience in a glass. (492 views) | | | Tasted by SirJ on 10/2/2021 & rated 93 points: A wonderful Barbaresco with age. Feels like the 2008 vintage is in its right drinking window, developed fruit, but perfect to drink now. Soft tannins, tar, roses, red fruit. Had it to Chanterelle pasta with truffles and cream. Drink now. (964 views) | | | Tasted by tanduybui on 9/11/2020 & rated 89 points: Pleasant medium body wine. Still quite tannic although not much fruit left although the body was still supple. 08 was not a great year so did not reach great heights. Drink now. (1297 views) | | | Tasted by MAXIMUM SATISFACTION on 10/17/2016 & rated 87 points: Bought at Ceretto outside of Alba and drank 1 day later. Would have guessed several years older and from a weaker vintage. Musty nose with a flat body dominated by bitter/sour red fruit and metallics. Don't think time will help but food might. (2557 views) | | | Tasted by Tim Heaton on 5/9/2011: Nebbiolo Prima #66, at this tasting event in Alba, there are 3 bottles of each wine - in case one (or more, gasp!) doesn't show well. Hmm, then I think that I will need to re-taste this in the future, because bottle #1 and #2 (#3 hadn't been opened yet) were the same. Really pretty floral and red fruit aromatics are fouled by a bit of a metallic finish. Notwithstanding that, I felt there wasn't enough fruit. If I had to score this, I'd have given it a 84, but I don't, so I'll pass on final judgment and try and re-taste again in the coming year. Too bad, because the nose really was rather appealing.

| 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.
