Barolo Zonchera Ceretto 1989
Barolo Zonchera Ceretto 1989 is a dry, full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Barolo, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity very high; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 37-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.

Ceretto Barolo Zonchera 1989 is a mature single-vineyard Nebbiolo red wine from the Barolo appellation in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. "Supple, with an intensely-scented nose of black-cherries, herbs, and vanillin, this medium to full-bodied Barolo displays impeccable harmony among its component parts, and a long, sweet, ripe, luscious finish. It should drink well for at least a decade. Ceretto`s 1989s and 1990s are unquestionably the finest Barolos Elegant, graceful, easy going wines that can be drunk early, or aged for 15 or more years." Wine Advocate, 1994
