The 2015 Ceretto Barolo Prapo is an exemplary representation of the Nebbiolo varietal, a grape that is unrivaled in its ability to express the unique terroir of its origin. Hailing from the esteemed vineyards of Piedmont, Italy, this wine is a testament to the region's rich viticultural heritage and unyielding dedication to quality.

The Ceretto family, an esteemed producer in the region, has crafted a wine that is both profound and captivating. The 2015 vintage was a particularly good year for Nebbiolo in Piedmont, and the grapes harvested for this Barolo Prapo were able to reach optimal ripeness, resulting in a wine of exceptional quality and complexity.

The color of this wine is a deep, intense red, a clear indication of the concentration and depth within. On the nose, it offers intoxicating aromas of dark cherry, rose petal, and dried herbs, intermingled with subtle hints of earth and spice. As you take your first sip, your palate is greeted with a symphony of flavors. The wine is full-bodied and robust, with a firm tannic structure that is characteristic of Nebbiolo. The fruit is balanced beautifully by a refreshing acidity, and the finish is long and lingering, leaving behind traces of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of minerality.

The 2015 Ceretto Barolo Prapo is more than just a wine, it's a journey through the rolling hills of Piedmont, a taste of the Italian soil, and a testament to the passion and skill of its producer. It's a wine to be savored and remembered, a true masterpiece of the Nebbiolo varietal.
