While during the month of January Harrods will be invaded because of the sales, the new year will also bring the last changing of the baton inside the Winery restaurant, which will host the Stelle di Stelle project for 30 more days with Enrico Crippa’s menu. Besides the wine from Ceretto, the dishes will also be paired with the bubbles produced by the Lunelli family and, as for the Veal with tuna sauce, Birra Moretti La Rossa
Enrico Crippa is tied to the Ceretto family just like the Langhe are tied to the wines of this winery, a few steps from Alba, a place famous for its white truffle but even more so for King Nebbiolo. The Piedmontese concept of the Ceretto winery is enclosed in ten one-syllable words in dialect «bun pi bun fa bun, mei pi mei fa mei» that is to say good plus good gives good, but the best plus the best gives the best: so here’s their philosophy summed up. This motto is put into practice by Bruno Ceretto, an inspiring man, and by his brother Marcello, an old style wine producer and the creator of great wines. They had the vocation to buy the best land in the Langhe in order to do the best job as Barolo producers, they carefully studied the lines of vines in order to obtain red wines, from Nebbiolo grapes which, luckily, as it only grows here, are the most sublime representation of the most authentic "terroir".
