Leather and coffee aromas, with hints of prunes. Very ripe nose. Full-bodied. A woody, tea and meaty flavor, with fruit and a long, decadent finish. Chewy. Best after 2008. 580 cases made. JS

1999 Barolo Bricco Rocche Bricco Rocche?Medium ruby. The Bricco Rocche is another potent effort from this house. It displays earthy, tarry aromas along with perfumed sweet red fruit and mineral nuances that occasionally make an appearance before being overwhelmed by a wall of new oak tannins. A second bottle was noticeably more advanced and provided some insight into how this wine might age. That bottle was beautiful and suggested a very classic, ethereal Barolo of notable length. That said, it remains egregiously overpriced for the quality. 90/drink after 2009, 03/06
Producer
Ceretto Aziende Vitivinicole S.r.l.
A great appreciation for the terroir, art and wine has united and driven the Ceretto family for years. As the largest vineyard proprietors in Piedmont, the Ceretto family owns over 160 hectares mostly in the Langhe and Roero regions. Their estate stretches across the prestigious DOCG areas of Barolo and Barbaresco. Their four properties are each devoted to the production of specific wines. Single-vineyard Barolo wines in Bricco Rocche of Castiglione Falletto, single-vineyard Barbaresco wines in the Bricco Asili vineyard in the village of Barbesco, local Langhe and Roero wines in Monsordo Bernardina of Alba, and Moscato wines in Santo Stefano Belbo of I Vignaioli Santo Stefano. In addition to the family’s commitment to make elegant wines, their passion for modern art has pushed them to become the first in Piedmont to substantially invest in the image of their wine. From their bottles and labels, to their overall packaging, Ceretto is a step above the rest.
