Cellar for up to 4 years. Serve chilled. Founded in the 1930s by Riccardo Ceretto, this well-respected producer played a key role in the modern winemaking history of the Piedmont. Riccardo’s sons Bruno and Marcello were at the forefront of the trend towards estate-bottled single vineyard wines, establishing Ceretto’s long-standing reputation for exceptional Barolos. The estate has now grown to some 160 hectares and is run by the third generation represented by Lisa, Roberto, Alessandro and Federico. As well as their world-class reds, Ceretto also produces other Piedmontese classics like this crisp and refreshing Langhe Arneis white wine. The eyecatching label with the distinctive B for Blange is the work of renowned designer Silvio Coppola. The wine is made from organically-grown grapes sourced from Vezza d’Alba and Castellinado, and the fruit is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve plenty of aromatics and natural acidity. Bursting with bright citrus, apple and pear on the nose, the first sip reveals a mouthwatering acidity, light body and dry finish with lingering notes of lemon zest. A fantastic wine to serve as an aperitif thanks to its freshness and balance, or as a partner for sushi, seafood, grilled fish or creamy risottos and pasta dishes.
