Ceretto Barolo Cannubi San Lorenzo 11.12.13 Caisse Panache Italie - Red - 1500 ml :

 

The Ceretto Barolo Cannubi San Lorenzo is the epitome of Piedmontese finesse and a benchmark for the Barolo DOCG. This exceptional Nebbiolo is meticulously crafted from a minuscule, high-altitude plot within the prestigious Cannubi Cru. Demonstrating a dedication to traditional excellence, Ceretto bottles this rare expression exclusively in magnum and holds it back for at least a decade before its market release, ensuring sublime maturity.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier's View)

Presenting a deep garnet hue with an evolving brick-red edge, the aroma is instantly complex. It showcases layers of plump dark cherries, dried violets, menthol, and classic Nebbiolo tertiary notes of tobacco leaf, forest floor, and subtle tar. On the palate, the wine is full, yet wonderfully refined. It possesses the hallmark noble tannins of Barolo, perfectly integrated with a vibrant structure, culminating in a suave, lingering finish of sweet spices and orange zest.
