Ceretto Nebbiolo D’Alba

Ceretto, a name synonymous with excellence in Italian winemaking, brings you the Nebbiolo d’Alba Bernadina, a distinguished wine that reflects the rich heritage and terroir of the Piedmont region. Established in the 1930s, Ceretto has become one of the most respected wine producers in Italy, known for its dedication to quality and innovation. Nebbiolo is one of Italy’s most esteemed grape varieties, primarily grown in the Piedmont region. The name “Nebbiolo” is derived from the Italian word “nebbia,” meaning fog, which is a common occurrence in the region during harvest time. This fog is believed to play a crucial role in the development of the grapes’ complex flavours and aromas. Nebbiolo grapes are known for their thin skins and light colour, yet they produce wines with high tannin levels and significant aging potential. The grape variety is famously used in the production of Barolo and Barbaresco, often referred to as the “king” and “queen” of Italian wines. Nebbiolo wines are celebrated for their aromatic complexity, featuring floral, fruity, and earthy notes, along with a distinctive tar and roses profile.
