Mesmerizing & Refined
This Barolo showcases the artistry of a skilled producer in a challenging vintage. The bouquet is a captivating medley of spices and dried fruits, ranging from cherry and currant to pomegranate and plum, all beautifully intertwined with a delicate licorice note. On the palate, the wine is firm and well-structured, with fine-grained tannins that promise great aging potential, although the wine drinks well now. Despite the vintage's reputation, this Barolo defies expectations, delivering a pretty and elegant expression that highlights the grower's expertise and the wine's ability to evolve gracefully over time. It is a testament to the resilience and potential of Nebbiolo in the hands of a master.
About the Winery
Domenico Clerico
Located at the heart of Barolo in Monforte d’Alba, the Domenico Clerico estate has been making iconic wines since 1976, when the eponymous young winemaker took the reins. Beginning with just a small 4-hectare farm inherited from his father, Domenico sought out the best undiscovered plots in Barolo, thus pioneering the idea of single cru wines.
