Ceretto’s Barolo Bricco Rocche is a highly prestigious wine made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in one of the most renowned crus in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto. It represents a historic expression of Barolo from one of the most celebrated vintages of the 1980s. Today, it displays a deep garnet color with distinct orange hues, indicative of its long aging process; On the nose, it is extremely complex and ethereal, with notes of wilted rose, dried violet, leather, tobacco, fine spices, tar, truffle, and tertiary aromas such as undergrowth, humus, and noble woods. On the palate, it is harmonious and velvety, with tannins that are now fully evolved and silky, a structure that remains present yet perfectly integrated, and a residual freshness that sustains the mouthfeel, making it surprisingly lively despite its age. The finish is extremely long, elegant, and persistent, with balsamic and spicy notes. The 1985 vintage is considered excellent in the Langhe and has produced long-lived, profound wines capable of evolving for decades. It is recommended to serve it at around 18°C with great care, possibly with very gentle decanting to separate the sediment and encourage the wine to open up aromatically. It pairs ideally with substantial yet not overly assertive dishes such as delicate braised meats, game, and very aged cheeses, or it can be enjoyed on its own as a meditation wine. Overall, it is a Barolo of the highest caliber—complex, profound, and representative of the great tradition of the Langhe and the aging potential of Nebbiolo.
