The 2015 Barolo Bricco Rocche is gorgeous, and the key here is elegance. The winemaking team at Ceretto has finely integrated the tannins so that the wine comes out as super silky and fine. Showing all the delicate balsamic notes and dark fruit typical of the variety, this Barolo with fruit from Castiglione Falletto has just about everything that you expect from this prestigious denomination, surely even deserving a filet mignon to accompany it when you do open the bottle down the road from today.

Aromas of rose, coconut and espresso slowly take shape along with oak-driven spice and balsamic herb. The tight, full-bodied palate delivers raspberry jam, baking spice, roasted coffee bean and tobacco, while polished, fine-grained tannins provide support. Drink 2023-2035.
