Barolo DOCG 'Bricco Rocche' 2020 (750 ml.) Ceretto

THE WINE

The Barolo DOCG 'Bricco Rocche' from Ceretto comes from the most prestigious vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, nestled between Villero and the Rocche of Castiglione. The vineyard and its soils provide a general sense of balance. It is the quintessential Piedmontese red wine, rooted in the deepest and most bourgeois tradition. A wine of exemplary quality and prestige.

THE PHILOSOPHY

THE COMPANY

Selecting the vineyards in historically the most valid positions was the goal of the two brothers Bruno and Marcello Ceretto. This idea, derived from a trip to Burgundy, would prove beneficial for the family and make the wines Barolo and Barbaresco among the most appreciated in the world. A revolution, at the time, for a territory where the concept of cru was completely unknown, but, above all, a brilliant intuition. A real struggle, theirs, undertaken with their father Riccardo, who bought the grapes to vinify them. "You are starting a difficult journey, the land has never created wealth for anyone," Riccardo used to say, but the stubborn Bruno and Marcello had no doubts: "We are for the land one hundred percent, the winery does count a bit, but great wines are made with grapes." They then began to dream of labels bearing the name of the vineyard, with its photograph: "so whoever drinks that wine can see the vineyard from which it comes. The vineyard is history, the names of the hills remain over time, they do not change, and this strengthens the quality and credibility of the wines produced here. A vineyard can be searched for, visited, touched, always." In 1986, The Wine Spectator, perhaps the most influential American magazine in the wine world, featured the two Langhe brothers on its cover, calling them the Barolo Brothers. Bruno and Marcello were under 50 years old, but they did not let themselves be overwhelmed by what is an official consecration, to which everyone aspires but few manage to achieve. Today they have remained true to themselves, they have not stopped dreaming and fighting for a just goal. Meanwhile, the Langhe has grown with them and with those, like them, who place the name of the land that made them born and accompanied them throughout their life before their own name.
