Medium straw in color, this wine offers aromas of pears, apple blossoms, beeswax, and almonds. On the palate, the Blangè is soft with round, nutty flavors overlaying subtle minerality.
Blangè is the white side of Piedmontese wines; a product that defined an era, revolutionizing Langhe winemaking that was previously devoted exclusively to red grapes. It is the product of a highly distinctive region, the Roero, and a desire to improve varietal recognition, as well as drinking pleasure. Blangè combines sustainable practices in the vineyard with a modern take. Fruit and minerality, aromatics and balanced freshness, coexist in this white wine that has made enjoyment and versatility its trademark.
The Ceretto family can trace its vineyard owning routes in Piemonte back to the late 1800’s when Riccardo Ceretto set up a merchant house in Alba to trade wines from the region. The next generations of Ceretto purchased some of the most sought after locations throughout Barolo and Barbaresco, land that one can only dream of owning in today’s world. Under the control of brother Bruno & Marcello, Ceretto built up a reputation for wines of high quality and continued to invest in increased holdings in the best Crus of Barolo and Barbaresco. The wines have gained huge following across the world both within the finest restaurants and most renowned private cellars.
Ceretto now owns four wineries across the region and farms over 160 hectares organically and is under the control of Bruno & Marcello’s children; Lisa, Roberto, Alessandro and Federico who continue to uphold and strengthen the company’s reputation for outstanding wines.
The classic Piemontese pairing for this wine is Vitello Tonnato - cold slices of veal topped with a creamy tuna sauce.
“A crisp and clean white with lemon rind and hints of mineral and stone on the nose and palate. Medium body. From organically grown grapes. 90 points”
