Tasting notes
Ceretto Nebbiolo d’Alba Bernardina is a concentrated wine. The nose is intense and complex, with persistent aromas of cherries, flowers and cedar. On the palate it is robust, with body and acidity. Strong tannins and fruity flavor. Great aging potential and a wonderful finish.
Description
The Monsordo-Bernardina estate is one of the places in Alba more suited to the production of great Nebbiolo. While on the border of the Barolo zone, soils and climate, for technical reasons, was not allowed inside the protected area from the prestigious designation. Today the vineyards around the historic farmhouse provide high quality grapes. Fermentations in stainless steel and ageing in old wood produces wines of great expressive potential, complex and long-lived, protected by D.O.C. Nebbiolo d'Alba.
Estate
Among the infinite rows of vines that run across the undulating hills of Piedmont are the four wineries of Ceretto, a wine and spirits company in its third generation. Founded by Riccardo Ceretto in 1937, the highly respected firm is now run by his sons, Bruno and Marcello (dubbed the “Barolo Brothers”) who in the 1960s began raising Ceretto’s profile and expanding its holdings. Now their sons and daughters are at the helm of the Langhe DOC company, which holds a total of 120 hectares of land that are the birthplace of an array of elegant still wines, sparkling wines, dessert wines, and spirits.
