The challenge and the glory of the new ceretto releases
When does a wine masterclass feel like a tale of two halves? When you loop in the 2024 vintage Ceretto Piemonte red wines with some of the stellar 2021 and 2022 releases. Part a) of this masterclass was a struggle for generosity, where I wrestled with whether acidity or freshness was the winner in the end, and varietal character/drinkability is challenged in the process. Part b) was simply about admiring the lines and not drinking the samples. Isn't wine amazing?

Nebbiolo has been around since the 1200’s, with some controversy as […]

Three highlights from Gambero Rosso’s 2026 Aussie Roadshow
In a world of waning wine publications, it seems like some brands have managed to stay relevant. Here in Australia, the Halliday name (without James, who is very unwell) continues to be a force (for good or bad, depenging on your viewpoint), and in Italy, Gambero Rosso's influence still seems strong. Indeed this week, the Gambero Rosso 'Top Italian Wines Roadshow' hit Australia, with 45 wineries pouring wines that landed top scores in the latest Gambero Rosso guide. Here in far-flung Australia, we only get snippets of the best Italian wines, so if you're like me and missed Vinitaly this year, then opportunities to dive into classic Italian vino are unmissable. Like any roadshow, not everything among the 190-odd wines poured today was a winner, but I've pulled out three absolute highlights well worth tracking down.

This medium-bodied, 100% Nebbiolo shows violets, roses, black cherry, raspberry and spice with a nice mineral kick on the nose. The sleek palate is sumptuous and full of […] The post Produttori’s Barbaresco: ‘Spectacular. Lustrous. Mouth-watering’ appeared first on Wine Cellar Plus .
