Ceretto's single-vineyard Barbaresco from the Bernadot cru above Treiso: 100% Nebbiolo grown biodynamically over 400 metres. Red berries, grenadine and iris lift a classic frame of rose, tar and fine tannin. A gastronomic Langhe red built to age.
Drawn from Ceretto's own notes on the Treiso cru and the consensus of more than 3,800 Vivino drinkers, who rate Bernadot 4.2 and flag tobacco, leather and earth alongside its red fruit.
A perfumed, classically Piedmontese nose: the lift of red berries, grenadine and iris that Ceretto themselves describe for the Bernadot cru, framed by rose, sour cherry and the tar and tobacco of mature Nebbiolo. Vivino drinkers consistently add leather, earth and a touch of woodsmoke as the wine opens.

LiquoriceMedium-bodied and built on Nebbiolo's high acidity and fine, rounded tannins rather than weight. The Treiso fruit leans red and succulent, true to Ceretto's intended softness over austerity, while 24 months in large oak botti lend an undertone of dried fig, toast and sweet spice. Structured but never monolithic.
Long and savoury, closing on tar, dried rose and the bitter-almond lift that older Nebbiolo earns and that drinkers pick out with age.
A single-vineyard Barbaresco for the gastronome and the cellar more than the casual sipper. Across more than 3,800 Vivino ratings it averages 4.2, with praise for its tobacco-and-leather complexity and only the price drawing criticism. Decant youthful bottles; the structured 2020 in particular rewards a decade or more.
Ceretto is imported into the UK by Mentzendorff; Berry Bros & Rudd lists the 2022 around £114, and the cellar-worthy 2020 sits close behind.

Two vintages on the market: the cooler, classic 2020 built for the cellar, and the warm-year 2022 that drinks earlier while still holding a decade.
A hot, dry growing season with extreme summer heat; in Barbaresco it gave fresh, perfumed wines that drink earlier than the structured 2020 while still holding for around a decade.
A cooler, classic Barbaresco vintage that gave balanced, structured wines with excellent ageing potential; selection mattered across the appellation, but a top cru like Bernadot is built for the long haul. Decant now or cellar.

Ceretto has bottled this four-hectare vineyard above Treiso as a single cru since the 2000 vintage, farming it biodynamically on Serralunga-like soils over 400 metres.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Barbaresco is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Barbaresco falls within Piedmont , covering Piedmont. The denomination is further divided into 4 sub-zones.
Bernadot is one small, named Treiso cru farmed by Ceretto, not a blended Barbaresco; scarce single-vineyard fruit is the biggest lever on the £100-plus price.
Hand-tended biodynamic viticulture above 400 metres lowers yields and raises labour cost against conventional Langhe fruit.
Barbaresco DOCG mandates two years ageing; Ceretto holds Bernadot in big botti, tying up cellar space and capital before the wine is sold.
UK excise duty is about £2.67 a bottle on still wine of 13.5 to 15% ABV, with 20% VAT on top; on a £114 bottle that is roughly £22 of tax.
Barbaresco DOCG needs 24 months ageing against Barolo's 38, so Bernadot reaches the market sooner and costs less to hold than a comparable Ceretto Barolo cru.
Dishes that complement this wine
Nebbiolo's structure points straight at the Langhe table, from brasato and agnolotti del Plin to white truffle and roast game.
Nebbiolo carries firm, fine-grained tannin and bright acidity. Long-braised, collagen-rich meat coats the palate and rounds those tannins, while the acidity keeps a rich dish lively. This is the wine's home turf in the Langhe.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Bollito dei Pastori · More pairings →
High acidity cuts the richness of egg-yolk pasta and butter sauces, refreshing the palate between bites. The wine's red-fruit lift echoes the sweetness of a slow-cooked meat filling.
Try with: Agnolotti del Plin · Tajarin al Tartufo · Tagliatelle al tartufo di Acqualagna · More pairings →
Mature Nebbiolo develops tar, dried rose and earthy, truffled tertiary notes. Those aromas bridge directly to white truffle and porcini, amplifying both the dish and the wine.
Try with: Tajarin al Tartufo · Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · More pairings →
Bernadot is medium-bodied and savoury rather than heavy, so it meets game and roast poultry without burying them. Its acidity offsets the fat of duck and the iron of venison.
Try with: Roast Pheasant · Roast Duck · Venison Stew · More pairings →
The salt and crystalline crunch of an aged hard cheese soften Nebbiolo's tannin and frame its red fruit. Reach for mature Piedmontese styles rather than soft or blue cheeses.
Try with: Cheese board · aged Castelmagno · mature Parmigiano Reggiano · More pairings →
Tannin amplifies chilli burn and clashes with sweet-sour glazes, and the wine's delicacy is lost against very oily fish. Save Bernadot for savoury, structured dishes.
Skip with: Vindaloo · sweet-and-sour pork · Szechuan chilli prawns · grilled mackerel · Pairing guide →
