BaroloDelComunediMonforteD’alba2020–DomenicoClerico

This is one the greatest successes of the appellation by a master of Nebbiolo: Domenico Clerico. The grapes come exclusively from Monforte d’Alba, some of the lower parts of Pajana and Per Cristina and other younger vines planted in Ciabot Mentin. The wine is aged in barrels for eight months, followed by another year in larger oak barrels. The classy bouquet of wine is unusually complex, the notes of roses and black ripe fruit perfume the glass with grace. On the palate we find a fleshy wine, while the velvety sensation highlights the subtle notes of fruit without becoming opulent thanks to the tannins that structure the wine. The finish is long and persistent, leaving delicious notes of wild berries in our astounded memory.
