Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Ceretto 2022 Barolo Bussia, made with certified organic fruit from a tiny 0.73-hectare parcel in the heart of Bussia Soprana, has a plump personality with black cherry, iron, tar and licorice. The fruit is framed by dense tannins and a powerful 15% alcohol content. Aged for one year in 300-liter French oak barrels followed by two years in larger French oak casks and a final year in bottle, the wine takes a broad, muscular approach with dark aromas that converge on the bouquet all at once. A mild note of bitterness on the palate feels linked to the concentration of this bold Barolo, which will need time to unwind.

Description
The red wine Ceretto Barolo Bussia is produced in the Piedmont wine region, specifically in Monforte d'Alba, made exclusively from the local Nebbiolo variety.
Winemaking
After manual harvesting, the grapes are selected on a sorting table, discarding the berries of lesser quality. Fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, and is then aged for around 30 months, divided between 300-litre barrels and large barrels of approximately 5,000 litres, with 10% new oak. Finally, the wine matures for a year in the bottle before being marketed.
Taste
Ceretto Barolo Bussia is a dry red wine, ideal for those who prefer absolutely dry flavours. It has a dense and fleshy texture. Its flavour reflects the typicality of the terroir: powerful and smooth, with a long finish and splendid acidity. There are earthy notes of damp forest soil, bitter orange and blue flowers. It is a noble wine, with body and depth. Despite its charm when young due to its aromas, it has a refined tannic profile that gives it great ageing potential.
