Awards/Ratings
High consumer and trade ratings; Vivino user average strong (top-tier for the bottling) and Cannubi releases from Ceretto frequently earn 90+ critic scores in major publications

Tasting Note
Red cherry, rose petal, violet, licorice, tar and graphite notes; elegant but powerful with firm noble tannins, herbal lift and a very long mineral finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast beef, braised short ribs, osso buco, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. Asian: Peking duck, Korean BBQ (galbi), Sichuan-style beef, mushroom or beef hotpot.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Nebbiolo, traditional fermentation with oak ageing followed by extended refinement in magnum; released only after ≥10 years of ageing and produced in very small quantities.

Vineyard Info
Ceretto family estate (founded 1937) owns the summit parcel (≈0.25 ha) of Cannubi San Lorenzo; tiny, low-yield production with organic/sustainable practices and historic old vines.
