Bourboulenc
Filter
Bourboulenc (pronounced boor-boo-LAHNK), also known as Aprokondoura, is a white wine variety and comes from Greece, but is now primarily planted in Southern France in the Rhone region. This categorizes Bourboulenc as an ancient wine variety. It is one of only five white wine grapes allowed for use in Chateaneuf du Pape, along with Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Rousanne, and Picardan. It is also used in Provence, Languedoc, La Clape, and Minervois. It displays strong citrus notes, a hint of smoke, some floral attributes, and high acidity. In blends, it will give body and spicy tones. Bourboulenc has a tendency to ripen late, but the acidity retains freshness in the wine. However, it is best consumed young. Bourboulenc grape bunches are tight with large berries and sometimes susceptible to rot. It does well in warmer, sun filled climates with stony plateaus, much like the Mediterranean basin.

Ceretto Barbaresco DOCG is made from 100 percent Nebbiolo.
If we could sum this wine up in a single word, we wouldn’t hesitate to define it as “classic”. As tradition suggests, this Barbaresco is the fruit of the assembly of several parcels of land, coming from some of our most beautiful vineyards. The idea is that of naturally obtaining balance by harmonizing different expressions, often contrasting ones. The result is a liquid expression of a terroir, tempting and typical, a synopsis of one Langa, that of Barbaresco, which moves in the glass, alternating between structure and elegance.
Review:
This is a really solid, meaty and mouth-filling Barbaresco that offers vivid red fruit with floral and mineral nuances and hints of licorice and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied with compact, velvety tannins that form the backbone of the wine, showing impressive concentration and length. Drink from 2027.

Bright, brightening ruby garnet. Appealing and finely drawn nose with notes of strawberries, blood orange and sealing wax. Very juicy on the palate, fresh, precisely defined fruit, opens up with fine-meshed tannins, very tense, with a cherry finish.
