Sourced exclusively from the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eBricco Rocche MGA\u003c\/strong\u003e in Castiglione Falletto, this iconic wine represents the pinnacle of Ceretto's pursuit of terroir, elegance, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in the 1930s, the Ceretto family has been instrumental in establishing Barolo's international reputation. Today, the estate farms its vineyards under certified organic principles, producing wines that faithfully express the individuality of each cru through meticulous viticulture and restrained, terroir-focused winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBricco Rocche\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the smallest and most prestigious crus in the entire Barolo appellation. Situated in the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eCastiglione Falletto\u003c\/strong\u003e, the vineyard enjoys an exceptional south-facing position with limestone-rich Tortonian marl soils that consistently produce Nebbiolo of remarkable perfume, finesse, and structure. Wines from Bricco Rocche are celebrated for combining the elegance of La Morra with the depth and longevity of Serralunga, making them among the most collectible Barolos produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outstanding \u003cstrong\u003e2021 vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e is widely regarded as one of the finest in recent decades. A long, even growing season with warm days and cool autumn nights produced Nebbiolo with exceptional concentration, aromatic purity, vibrant acidity, and beautifully ripe tannins—conditions ideally suited to the Bricco Rocche vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes were hand-harvested before gentle fermentation with extended maceration to maximise complexity and structure. The wine was then matured in large Slavonian oak casks, preserving the purity of fruit while allowing the distinctive character of this Grand Cru vineyard to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bouquet is extraordinarily complex and perfumed, revealing layers of wild rose, violet, red cherry, raspberry, blood orange, pomegranate, and crushed strawberry. As the wine unfolds, notes of liquorice, star anise, tar, cedar, graphite, truffle, dried herbs, and forest floor emerge, displaying remarkable depth and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is powerful yet effortlessly graceful. Silky, finely etched tannins support concentrated red berry fruit, while vibrant natural acidity and a profound mineral backbone provide exceptional balance and energy. The finish is remarkably long and refined, leaving lingering impressions of rose petals, red cherry, savoury spice, ironstone, and truffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlready captivating after extended decanting, the 2021 Ceretto Bricco Rocche Barolo is built for the long haul and will continue to evolve magnificently for \u003cstrong\u003e30–40 years\u003c\/strong\u003e under proper cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceretto Azienda Vitivinicole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bricco Rocche MGA, Castiglione Falletto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Nebbiolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Cru Single Vineyard Barolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5% (approx.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e White truffle risotto, braised beef cheeks, osso buco, roasted venison, wild boar ragù, porcini mushroom dishes, and 36-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terroir Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52218526859566,"sku":"8683438289","price":666.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2021CerettoBriccoRoccheBaroloDOCG750ml.png?v=1781847538","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2021-ceretto-bricco-rocche-barolo-docg-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
