Tasting notes
The 2019 Barbaresco is bright, punchy and full of energy. Sweet red cherry, mint, white pepper, kirsch and orange peel all grace this subtle, understated Barbaresco from Ceretto. Hints of tobacco, cedar and dried herbs are all suggestive of a wine that is entering the early part of its maturity.

This is a very firm young Barbaresco with dried strawberry, crunchy fruit and fresh flowers, such as roses. Bitter lemon and tar, too. Full-bodied, chewy and polished. Flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2024.
The Ceretto 2019 Barbaresco is an organic wine that paints a clear picture of a beautiful vintage. Tart cherry, white licorice and dusty earth lift from the bouquet and give this wine a sharp sense of focus and intensity. Ceretto has released a superb set of Barbarescos this year, starting with this classic expression.
The 2019 Barbaresco is bright and nicely focused. Crushed red berry fruit, cedar, tobacco and spice are lifted. Veins of supporting tannin and acid give this mid-weight, nervy Barbaresco lovely energy. The 2019 is elegant and also quite promising.
