Ceretto's 2013 Barolos are every bit as impressive as they were when I tasted them last fall. The wines have started to shut down a bit in bottle, but that is not at all surprising. Put simply, 2013 is a terrific vintage for Ceretto in which the wines have begun to show a distinct leaning towards a more classic style.

I was blown away by the wines I tasted at Ceretto during my most recent visit. The 2013 Barolos are off the charts, while the 2014 Barbarescos are just as impressive. Small changes in the use of yeasts during fermentation and a move towards earlier picking are among the decisions that Alessandro Ceretto made in 2013 that paid off big time. The 2013 Barolos spent approximately abut 25 days on the skins, followed by 9 months in barrique and two years in cask. The malos are all done in barrique. These wines are a big step up after the irregular 2012s. Hopefully Ceretto will be able to build on this level of quality going forward.
