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. Some 13,000 bottles were made.

Plump and juicy, sporting plum, cherry, woodsy and vanilla flavors. Elegant, with firm, well-integrated tannins and a long, spice-infused aftertaste. This harmonious version should come around soon. Best from 2022 through 2042. 1,084 cases made, 75 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
