Located, as its name suggests, at the foot of the Alps bordering France and Switzerland, Piedmont is the second largest of Italy\u2019s 20 regions, after Sicily.<\/p>\n
Recognized for its industry like Fiat in Turin, Piedmont is also one of the greatest regions in the world in terms of cuisine (don\u2019t forget the white truffles from Alba!) and wine!<\/p>\n
With 46 DOC and 4 DOCG, Piedmont has more wine appellations than any other Italian region.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”17553″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The winery was founded by Riccardo Ceretto in the 1930s.<\/p>\n
In 1968, his sons acquired their first proprietary vineyard, Bricco Asili, in Barbaresco.<\/p>\n

Committed to sustainability, the winery achieved organic certifications for all its wines in 2015.<\/p>\n

“Very attractive red cherries and berries with plenty of sweetly fragrant spice and warm stones. This offers exceptional power and rich, ripe fruit on the palate. Really balanced and succulent with seamlessly arranged tannins. So good.<\/em>“ – James Suckling, 96pts<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n “The 2015 Barolo Brunate is yet another silky and fine red wine with perhaps a tiny bit more structure and firmness at the back than the other single-vineyard offerings from Ceretto. It is beautifully accessible and oh so fine and elegant. The wine is aged in 300-liter French oak (with 10% new oak) for 12 months, followed by 24 months in Austrian oak casks. I absolutely love this wine. It’s a cru that will impress at any wine-tasting party, or I can picture it at dinner with a deliciously rare steak au poivre.” – Wine Advocate, 96 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Nebbiolo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
