Barolo Brunate comes from the heart of the appellation in La Morra and is one of the most expressive Barolos in Ceretto's single-vineyard collection. The vines are over 50 years old and the total production of the wine is therefore negligible. Brilliant ruby-garnet colour. Finely balanced aromas of dark cherry, rose blossom, mint and lavender on the nose, followed by cassis and plum. More fruity on the palate than its "colleagues", then shows its origins impressively with its depth and complexity. A red full of personality and character that will only realise its full potential as it matures in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a delicately brightening rim. Clearly and distinctly characterised on the nose, of mountain mint, red apple, raspberry, also reminiscent of red peach. Tightly woven on the palate, with savoury tannins and beautiful juiciness, balanced and harmonious, keeps coming back." Falstaff

"There's richness to embrace the cherry, raspberry, mint and tar flavors, backed by a line of firm tannins. Nonetheless feels balanced and lingers on the finish, even if this needs more time to knit." Wine Spectator

"Beautiful aromas of wild cherry, allspice, fresh leather and flowers rise gracefully from the glass. The wine delights with mouth-watering acidity and crushed red fruits such as raspberry and strawberry, accompanied by balsamic notes. It has a juicy and round profile, is well integrated and ready for ageing." Wine Enthusiast

"The Barolo Brunate 2019 is great. In this tasting, we clearly moved from Barbaresco to Barolo. Rich, creamy and inviting, the Brunate has great depth and a remarkable textural resonance. The attack reveals red fruits, spices, tobacco and cedar, followed by an array of spicy and floral notes that unfold effortlessly. The Brunate has incredible energy and class." Vinous

"The fruit in this wine comes from one of the most distinctive crus in the appellation, which is known for its elegant and powerful wines. The organic Barolo Brunate 2019 has power and a good amount of muscle, while the wines from La Morra are softer and silkier overall. However, this wine shows dark fruit flavours, a beautiful chalky minerality and fragrant iris. Everything is presented with nuanced intensity." Wine Advocate

"RIpe, sweet, floral marmalade tones on the nose, burnt/toasted pastry, a smell of baked fruitcake, which for me is so wonderfully seductive about Ceretto wines. Stylish and lean, this wine has great charm despite its power. Dense but supple tannins fill the mouth, powdery and slightly metallic, with a marvellous minerality, but also cola, dark chocolate, raspberry and pink flowers. It is taught and direct, not so much friendly, but so well crafted with drive and persistence. It is lively and open, it wants to charm, and it does, but in a calm, compelling and direct way. Full of character and delicious. The finish is slatey and leaves the saltiness behind. Powerful and penetrating all the way through - simply excellent." Decanter

"The purity of the fruit and flowers is exceptional with flavours of lavender and blue berries leading to a medium to full body with ultra-fine tannins and a long and racy finish. It will be better in four or five years, but is already showing its greatness. One of the greatest Brunates from here in a long time." James Suckling
