Folle Blanche
Filter
Folle Blanche is related to Gouais blanc and is also known by the name “Picpoule”. It is however, not related to the Picpoul variety from Languedoc or Gros Plant and Enrageat Blanc. This light skinned grape variety has been mostly substituted with the hybrid Baco blanc because of damage from phylloxera. After the disease ravaged Folle Blanche vines, growers replaced the vincs with the Ugnu-Blanc variety. The Folle Blanche variety is produced in the Loire Valley of France near Nantes to create the wine Gros Plant du Pays Nantis. The Loire Valley region suits almost 8,000 acres of the Folle Blanche variety and it is planted in vineyards throughout France. The strong, dry and acidic wine goes nicely with shellfish. Folle Blanche is also the variety used in Cognac. Folle Blanche works well to create brandy, but because it ripens late in the year and is sensitive to rot and disease, it is not a popular choice for many growers. In the Loire region of France, Folle Blanche is sometimes used to create a varietal wine, but typically Folle Blanche is used to blend with other grape varieties. Folle Blanche produces light, crisp wines that are acidic and it typically generates a large amount of juice. When ripe, the fruit is semi round and is yellowish green in color.

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.
