James Suckling 93
Extremely perfumed and attractive with blueberry and cherry aromas and hints of flowers, following through to a full body with firm and silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Give it another two or three years to come together.

The 2016 Barbaresco Bernadot takes the intensity level up a notch when compared to the base Barbaresco that I tasted immediately before this wine. The Bernadot is silky and fine with a pretty embroidery of floral aromas, cola, grilled herb and balsam herb. It will enjoy a long cellar life, at least a decade, but this wine is also perfect for near and medium-term drinking.

Wild berry, rose petal, menthol and toasted nut aromas lead the nose. The tight, linear palate offers sour cherry, cracked pepper, orange rind and star anise alongside close-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. It's still austere and primary, with an astringent finish.

This red shows great purity, with rose, strawberry, cherry and mineral flavors. Elegant, taut and balanced within the profile. The finish conjures up tobacco and orange peel accents.

Technical Details
Description
This splendid vineyard, located under the town of Treiso, returning towards the Pertinace hamlet, has been considered for more than a century among the best in the municipality. It can be interpreted as the natural continuation of the Nerve, with which it shares the orientation and position of the land. The vineyard area is enclosed in a small natural amphitheater and this conformation manages to create a particular and favorable microclimate for the vine that is not affected by the considerable height (400 meters in the highest part). Ceretto works in biodynamic agriculture 4.8 hectares of this cru that year after year gives us more and more expressive wines, characterized by an incredible pleasantness and remarkable dynamism.Estate
Among the infinite rows of vines that run across the undulating hills of Piedmont are the four wineries of Ceretto, a wine and spirits company in its third generation. Founded by Riccardo Ceretto in 1937, the highly respected firm is now run by his sons, Bruno and Marcello (dubbed the “Barolo Brothers”) who in the 1960s began raising Ceretto’s profile and expanding its holdings. Now their sons and daughters are at the helm of the Langhe DOC company, which holds a total of 120 hectares of land that are the birthplace of an array of elegant still wines, sparkling wines, dessert wines, and spirits.Tasting notes
