The Ceretto 2017 Barolo DOCG Prapo is a wine that embodies the essence of Piedmontese winemaking tradition with refined elegance. Hailing from the historic vineyards of Langhe, this Barolo is made from Nebbiolo grapes, grown in soils rich in marl and limestone, characteristic of the area. The 2017 vintage was an exceptional year, marked by favorable weather that allowed the harvest of perfectly ripe grapes, ensuring a remarkable aromatic concentration.
Visually, the wine presents a deep garnet red, promising the complexity of its aromas. On the nose, it releases an elegant and sophisticated bouquet, with notes of withered roses, ripe cherry, sweet spices, and a delicate hint of licorice. As it evolves in the glass, hints of leather and tobacco emerge, further enriching the olfactory experience.
On the palate, the Ceretto Prapo expresses a robust structure, with well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that finishes the sip with a long persistence. Its complexity and depth make it perfect for aging, but it is already extraordinary to enjoy now, especially with rich dishes such as braised meats, red meats, and aged cheeses. This Barolo is a wine to contemplate, able to tell the story of its terroir and the passion of the producers who created it. An unforgettable experience that deserves a place of honor in the cellar of every wine lover.
