Alcohol: 14.5 %
Grape(s): 100 % Nebbiolo
Location: Monforte d'Alba, Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Tasting Notes: Deep garnet with an orange rim. Intense aromas of cherry, dried rose, licorice, tar, and sweet spices. The palate is concentrated and structured with layered red fruit, leather, tobacco, and savory underbrush, supported by firm, polished tannins and lively acidity. Long, persistent finish with mineral and floral echoes.
Notes: Sourced from select Monforte d'Alba vineyards, the wine shows the estate’s hallmark of power balanced by finesse. Fermented traditionally and aged in large Slavonian and French oak casks to develop complexity while preserving Nebbiolo’s aromatic lift. Built for medium- to long-term aging.
Food Pairing: Braised beef, roasted game, truffled dishes, aged hard cheeses, or hearty Piedmontese cuisine.
Winery Story: Domenico Clerico is a revered Barolo producer from Monforte d'Alba known for powerful, ageworthy Nebbiolos that combine precision viticulture with careful cellar work to express the distinctive soils and microclimates of the commune.
