“Blangè” Arneis Langhe DOC The Blangè vineyard, located on the hillsides of Vezza d’Alba, was purchased in 1985 with the sole purpose of planting it with the Arneis grape. The name of the wine is derived from the French word “boulanger,” or baker, as legend has it that this is where Napoleon’s bakers made their camp when his armies ventured into the area.

Barbaresco DOCG Barbaresco DOCG was created as the first Barbaresco of the house of Ceretto. This wine was considered Ceretto’s top Barbaresco until the 1970s, when Bruno and Marcello Ceretto decided to invest in prestigious single vineyards. From that point forward, Barbaresco DOCG became the second wine of Ceretto’s Barbaresco offerings. The grapes are sourced from multiple vineyards across the appellation, as was common before the movement to single vineyard bottlings. Ceretto Barbaresco DOCG is a classic wine, like those from the turn of the century, when the concept of ‘cru’ was totally unknown to the region’s winemakers. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, the wine is aged for 24 months in barriques and barrels to round and soften the tannins in the wine.

VINTAGE: ______

Barbaresco DOCG Bernardot This 100% Nebbiolo wine is made entirely from grapes grown in the Bernardot cru. The vineyard is located on a ridge just south of Treiso with mostly southern exposures. The wine is aged in a combination of French oak barriques and barrels for two years before bottling.
