Description

The rarest wine in Ceretto's collection - only 600 magnums produced - Cannubi San Lorenzo hits the market 10 years after harvest. The 2010 exudes striking finesse: plump dark cherries, violets, liquorice and menthol outline an intoxicating profile that combines excellent depth with weightlessness. Hints of botanical herbs complicate the luscious fruit to the core, while noble tannins energise a suave finish brimming with inner perfume.

A very elegant, pretty young Barolo with dried fruits, flowers and spices. Medium to full body, silky tannins and a liquorice and berry aftertaste. Drink after 2015james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (April 2014)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Ceretto

This family-run business was founded by Riccardo Ceretto in 1937, principally as a négociant in Alba. He was joined by his sons Bruno and Marcello in the 1960s. Wanting to make and sell their own wines, they began to buy premium land in Barolo and Barbaresco and were among the very first in the region to see the potential of single-vineyard wines. Bruno’s children, Federico and Roberta, and Marcello’s, Alessandro and Lisa, joined in the 1990s. After a period of change and experimentation, a particular style emerged in 2010, utilising shorter skin contact, and a mix of barrique and small botte for a supple but precise expression of Nebbiolo. The family are also involved in various artistic and heritage projects, including the rejuvenation of the famous Piedmontese hazelnuts and two restaurants in Alba: La Piola and the three-star Michelin Piazza Duomo.
