Why We're Buying

Ceretto Casa Vinicola was among the first Barolo producers to modernize its wines, starting in the 1970s. The revolutionary decision paid off with wines like Ceretto Barolo Brunate, a red wine that captures an authentic expression of the land.

Critics Scores

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2015 Barolo Brunate is yet another silky and fine red wine with perhaps a tiny bit more structure and firmness at the back than the other single-vineyard offerings from Ceretto. It is beautifully accessible and oh so fine and elegant. The wine is aged in 300-liter French oak (with 10 new oak) for 12 months, followed by 24 months in Austrian oak casks. I absolutely love this wine. It's a cru that will impress at any wine-tasting party, or I can picture it at dinner with a deliciously rare steak au poivre.

Wine Enthusiast

Rose, blue flower and woodland berry aromas mingle with aromatic herb and pipe tobacco notes. The elegant, focused palate shows Marasca cherry, cranberry, licorice and hints of baking spice alongside fine-grained tannins. It's balanced, with fresh acidity.

James Suckling

Very attractive red cherries and berries with plenty of sweetly fragrant spice and warm stones. This offers exceptional power and rich, ripe fruit on the palate. Really balanced and succulent with seamlessly arranged tannins. So good.

Wine Spectator

Plump and juicy, sporting plum, cherry, woodsy and vanilla flavors. Elegant, with firm, well-integrated tannins and a long, spice-infused aftertaste. This harmonious version should come around soon. Best from 2022 through 2042.
