What emerges is a wine of balance—creamy and buttery with stone fruit and citrus complexity

Ceretto, Barolo Brunate, 1989 new product The altitude shows in theBrunate is one of Barolo's most celebrated crus, a powerful, perfumed La Morra site, and Ceretto farms several hectares of it. The 1989 vintage is widely regarded as one of Piedmont's greatest, a year of near perfect ripeness and structure, which makes this a benchmark bottle now in graceful maturity. Expect classic Nebbiolo power softening into tertiary complexity. From a private cellar, so storage varies; decant carefully and savor.
