Domenico Clerico 2020 Barolo
The 2020 Domenico Clerico Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba opens with a luminous ruby garnet color, subtly brightening at the rim. On the nose, it delivers a fragrant and playful medley of raspberries, strawberries, and wild berries, accented by clove, lemongrass, and a whisper of herbal savoriness. A hint of graphite adds mineral depth to the bouquet. The palate is structured and precise, beginning with juicy vibrancy and building momentum through vibrant acidity and ripe, chewy tannins. It finishes with a savory edge, showcasing notes of licorice and a dusting of Nebbiolo’s signature earthiness.
Critical Acclaim
A bright and primary red with sliced strawberries, citrus and stone aromas and flavors. Medium body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. Tangy. Crushed stones. Juicy and nicely chewy. Transparent.
93pts Parker's Wine Advocate
Spiced cranberry and blood orange peel off the top of the Domenico Clerico 2020 Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba. This vintage is open and front-loaded overall; however, it does touch on all the main elements atop the Nebbiolo playlist. The wine is lean with young tannins. All said and done, the oak is graciously underplayed, and all the wine needs is another year or two in bottle to allow the fruit to flesh out. It ages in large oak casks with about 10% in barrique. The blend is fruit from the coolest areas of Pajana (in Ginestra), Ciabot Mentin (also in Ginestra) and Percristina (in Mosconi).
