#93 James Suckling Top 100 Wines of the World 2025

The 2021 vintage started with a mild, snowy winter that provided important water reserves for the dry season ahead. A spring frost affected some of the vineyards and overall vine growth remained steady. A warm, dry summer with good diurnal shifts allowed Nebbiolo to ripen slowly and beautifully. Harvest ran from late September to mid-October, yielding healthy clusters with firm tannins and vibrant acidity. Despite afew climatic challenges, the 2021 vintage is considered to be a very good - and possibly even an excellent vintage - as it produced structured, well-balanced wines with exceptional aging potential.

Blend: 100% Nebbiolo

	Robert Parker
97 points	Moving over to La Morra, the Ceretto 2021 Barolo Brunate is a classical expression of one of the most representative vineyards in this village. You get the delicate fruits associated with Nebbiolo, but you also get the mint that is common to Brunate. If you walk through this vineyard in springtime, you often smell fresh mint brushing against your shoes. Brunate also has an elegant mineral signature of crushed limestone. It ages in 300-liter French oak for 12 months followed by 24 months in French oak botte and then another 12 months in bottle.

98 points	Cranberries, dried herbs, underbrush, sage, minerals and violets on the nose. Very aromatic and absorbing. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with precise, linear and elegant fruit. The tannins are firm and balanced tannins, providing a compact, racy finish. Outstanding balance. Better from 2026.
