With fruit from Treiso, the Ceretto 2018 Barbaresco Bernadot shows a graceful, mid-weight approach to the vintage with red and purple fruits that are crisp and fresh. The bouquet is a sounding board for cassis, sour cherry, camphor ash, crushed stone and powdered licorice. Bernadot reveals a firm textural fiber and lasting, silky intensity. RP
Dried herbs, sour cherries, peaches and fresh mushrooms on the nose. Some cedar, too. Succulent and medium-bodied with fine, sleek tannins. Bright and well balanced. From organically grown grapes. JS
