Ceretto can be best defined as a work in progress. In my tastings of the 2004 Barolos the estate's wines stood out for their intense oakiness and sweetness. Alessandro Ceretto is experimenting with less new oak and giving the wines a more conventional 24 months of oak aging rather than the current 30 months. The 2005 Barolo Bricco Rocche I tasted suggests that the quality of the estate's future releases may well be on the upswing. As has been the case in recent vintages though, I often leave my tastings with the feeling there is a lot of unrealized potential from the top vineyard sites the family is fortunate to own.
