Ceretto (Bricco Asili), Barbaresco Bernardot other_regions_italy black fruits plus a beautifulThe 2008 Barbaresco Bernardot emerges from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, spices and licorice.

Floral, spiced notes reappear on the well articulated, nuanced finish. Anticipated maturity, 2013 2023.
