The 2016 Ceretto Barolo DOCG is a distinguished Italian red wine from the historic Ceretto estate in Piedmont, crafted exclusively from 100 % Nebbiolo grapes grown on limestone-rich hills around Barolo. It belongs to one of the most celebrated Barolo vintages of recent years, showing both classic structure and expressive fruit that exemplify the appellation’s high standards. In the glass, the wine displays an elegant ruby color and unfolds complex aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, and red plums, layered with savory hints, gentle oak spice, and floral undertones. The palate is medium-to-full bodied, with polished fruit, creamy yet firm tannins, lively acidity, and a long, balanced finish that echoes both red fruit and earthy notes. Critically acclaimed and scored highly by reviewers (including ~93–95 points by Falstaff and other critics), this Barolo is both approachable in its youth and capable of aging further in a cellar. Pairing suggestions: rich pasta, slow-roasted meats, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses, which complement the wine’s elegance and depth.
