Tasting notes
Ceretto Monsordo is a red wine from the Piedmont region in northern Italy. This area is renowned for its Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes, and Monsordo often features a blend that varies by vintage. The 2002 vintage in particular captures the unique climate and soil conditions of its time.
In the 20th volume of the manga 'Drops of God', this wine was served at Asuka's ristorante by Leonardo. It was described as having a complexity akin to the intricate patterns of Hakone Yosegi-zaiku, offering something new with each sip that keeps you coming back for more.
When you pour it into a glass, you'll notice its deep ruby color with a slightly orange-tinged rim that hints at its age. The aroma is a rich blend of dried plums, herbs, and spices, like opening a treasure chest that's been waiting to reveal its secrets. On the palate, it offers soft fruit flavors with smooth acidity, while velvety tannins provide a comforting embrace. The finish is long and satisfying.
To truly enjoy this wine, give it some time to open up. Consider decanting it or using a large glass to fully appreciate its evolving aroma and taste.
