| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Reinbothe on 3/8/2024 & rated 93 points: In a great spot right now with a lot of air. Very concentrated and full body. However, too “modern” for my liking as the terroir seems hidden behind the oak flavour. Becomes better with right temperature after an hour in the fridge. Style reminds me of La Spinetta. Personally, I will not buy again due to the style and price range. I prefer Prod. del Barbaresco style more - including better QPR. (60 views) | | | Tasted by Lehto on 1/12/2024 & rated 91 points: Quite some browning in the color at this stage.
Overall this is not really my style of Barbaresco. I don't know if the storage has anything to do with it, since I bought this recently from a private individual - but I assume it's simply the style.
Initial pour showed a lot of tight and dark fruits with heavy tannins, tar, leather and smoke.
It then started to open up and more of the dark fruits came to light, but it was very Port-like in its fruit and expression with dried fig, raisin, dark plum and dried leaves.
The tannins softened a lot with air and the wine was overall open for business with a lovely acidity as well, but for my personal preference I'm missing that nice touch of fresh red fruits, and I just don't think this style of Barbaresco will ever have that - not even young.

Palate has more ripe cherries , tart, flowers and a whole heap of tannins. Obviously really early and too young but pretty given its youth. Would like to try this when it's mature. (945 views) |
| 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.
