Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin 2021
£109.75
The wine
Luminous garnet red, displaying typical Barolo characters of ripe red fruit, rose, plums and spice. The palate is intense and well balanced with refined tannins.
Ciabot Mentin comes from the Ginestra cru in Monforte d Alba, and was among the wines that made Clerico famous in the 1980s as one of the so-called Barolo Boys, the growers who shortened macerations and introduced barriques to a region that had done neither.
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.
