A spring frost affected some of the vineyards and overall vine growth remained steady. A warm, dry summer with good diurnal shifts allowed Nebbiolo to ripen slowly and beautifully. Harvest ran from late September to mid-October, yielding healthy clusters with firm tannins and vibrant acidity. Despite afew climatic challenges, the 2021 vintage is considered to be a very good - and possibly even an excellent vintage - as it produced structured, well-balanced wines with exceptional aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 100% Nebbiolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e98James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\nCranberries, dried herbs, underbrush, sage, minerals and violets on the nose. Very aromatic and absorbing. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with precise, linear and elegant fruit. The tannins are firm and balanced tannins, providing a compact, racy finish. Outstanding balance. Better from 2026.\u003cbr\u003e\n97Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nMoving over to La Morra, the Ceretto 2021 Barolo Brunate is a classical expression of one of the most representative vineyards in this village. You get the delicate fruits associated with Nebbiolo, but you also get the mint that is common to Brunate. If you walk through this vineyard in springtime, you often smell fresh mint brushing against your shoes. Brunate also has an elegant mineral signature of crushed limestone. It ages in 300-liter French oak for 12 months followed by 24 months in French oak botte and then another 12 months in bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\n94Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA spicy version, whose cherry, raspberry, rose, iron and eucalyptus flavors are shaded by a hint of new oak. This is pure and solid, while the dusty tannins exert themselves on the finish. Shows excellent balance and a long, fruit-infused aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ceretto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48541272539360,"sku":"131230","price":144.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/ceretto-barolo-brunate_1.jpg?v=1768425256","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/ceretto-barolo-brunate-2021-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
