The wine
Ciabot Mentin is drawn from the Ginestra cru in Monforte d Alba, and was one of the wines that built the Clerico name in the 1980s.
Domenico Clerico was among the Barolo Boys, the generation who shortened macerations and brought French barriques into a region that had used neither, to considerable local resistance. The name refers to a small hut standing in the vineyard. Nebbiolo is thin-skinned and late-ripening, giving pale colour with formidable tannin, and Barolo must be aged at least 38 months before release.
The producer
Domenico Clerico
View all Domenico Clerico winesIn Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of Barolo, Domenico Clerico was one of the legendary modernists who transformed the region. The estate he built crafts Nebbiolo of both power and polish, from some of the Langhe greatest crus. His legacy is one of ambition and quality.
The domaine farms with meticulous care and vinifies with a blend of tradition and precision. Careful oak ageing and patient handling give Barolo of real concentration, perfume, and refinement. The style is deep, structured, and built to age for decades.
The range spans approachable Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera through to a suite of single-cru Barolos, each tracing the character of its vineyard. Together they map Monforte and Serralunga with authority.
To pour a Clerico wine is to taste Barolo at its most compelling. Powerful, perfumed, and profoundly ageworthy, these are Nebbiolos for the serious cellar.
