🏰 The 2017 Ceretto Barolo Brunate is an expressive and concentrated Barolo from a warm vintage. James Suckling awarded it an impressive 97 points, describing it as extremely aromatic with notes of blackberry, dried strawberry, wet earth, and crushed stone. He noted its full-bodied nature with intense, firm tannins and a very tight finish, highlighting its precise, polished fruit and structure, calling it a "great 2017" that needs time to open and soften. Robert Parker gave it 94 points, praising its dark fruit signature and extra concentration, with layers of black fruit and plum ceding to spice, licorice, and spent embers. The palate shows an open-knit fiber with solid fruit weight and a richly layered approach. This Barolo is known for its aromatic complexity, often with hints of pink and purple, and can be enjoyed after a few months in bottle, though it has significant aging potential. 【 James Suckling 97 points 】. 🍴 This powerful Barolo pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes. Lamb and pasta are classic pairings. Its earthy palate with notes of leather, dark fruits, and truffle would complement roasted red meats, game, or truffle-infused dishes. Consider beef fillet with truffles or a hearty beef stew. Aged cheeses also make a wonderful match. 🥂 An exceptional choice for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion, or for adding to a serious wine collection. This wine is built for longevity and will reward those who cellar it, making it perfect for future milestones.
