* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This excellent Barolo from Ceretto’s Bricco Rocche estate represents a perfect marriage between grape and winemaking. The integrity of the fruit is there—plush, round, intense—and is supported by oak-driven notes of vanilla, cinnamon, cigar box and ground ginger. In the mouth, it tastes smooth and supple and offers long-lasting intensity. Drink after 2020.

The dense, clay soils of the excellent Brunate cru help shape this rich and opulent wine. Exotic spice is the main theme here and you will taste ground curry leaf, ginger, clove and vanilla. Red licorice and black currant also play a supporting role and grow in intensity as the wine evolves in the glass. The mouthfeel is polished, firm and intense. Drink 2015 to 2020.

One of the best wines to emerge from the Italian peninsula, this beautiful Barolo delivers dark, sensual concentration, a firm but silky feel and sophisticated aromas of mature fruit, sandalwood, exotic spice, dried rose petal, licorice, dried herbs and cola. It’s a solid, gorgeous wine with very long aging potential.

Bricco Asili Bernardot opens with a pretty garnet color and luscious aromas of fruit, leather, road tar and spice. It’s a sophisticated and masculine wine with rich vanilla and oak shadings in the background that add density and staying power. The tannins are hard as nails so either drink this Barbaresco now with succulent red beef, or better yet, wait five-plus years.

Here’s a modern and bold blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Nebbiolo with rich, ripe fruit flavors, dense texture and impressive complexity. You’ll get black fruit, bitter chocolate and exotic spice. Make no mistake: this is a big wine that would pair beautifully with succulent roasts and steaks. But, it ends with crispness and brightness, like most wines from Piedmont, northern Italy.

Ceretto’s pristine Dolcetto d’Alba offers an interesting medley of fruit and almond aromas. Marzipan and almond paste also appear in the mouth and the wine ends with silky softness. Pair it with oven-cooked pasta.

Zonchera is Ceretto’s more affordable base Barolo and it offers an excellent taste profile for those who are new to Nebbiolo. The wine opens with a dark, garnet-brown hue and segues to aromas of ripe berry, apple skin, vanilla, licorice and ginger. It’s a fruit-forward wine with tight tannins and a polished mouthfeel. It’s ready to drink now with fondue or grilled meat.

Aromas include bright red cherry, cured meat, spice, plum and pencil lead. The wine has a direct delivery of fragrances and the focus here is definitely in the quality of fruit and its natural intensity. The execution is polished and pristine and the wine has a smooth, but firm texture on the finish.

Features plenty of bold cherry aromas tinged with dried spices, but there’s also a hint of elevated alcohol on the nose. Big, full-bodied and tannic, with dried fruit flavors that show a hint of overripeness. Long and powerful on the finish. Imported by Clicquot Inc.

Blangé epitomizes everything you should expect from an informal Italian white. It will quench your thirst and will pair beautifully with Mediterranean dishes and seafood. The bouquet is generous with tones of jasmine, exotic fruit and passionfruit. The mouthfeel is tart, acidic and fresh.
