Domenico Clerico Barolo di Monforte d’Alba 2022
£38.95
The wine
Vibrant ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose delivers exceptional fruity, spicy and floral aromas, and the palate is intense with sweet, silky tannins leading to a rich finish.
Barolo di Monforte is the estate village-level bottling, blended across Clerico holdings in Monforte d Alba rather than drawn from a single cru. Monforte gives some of the most structured Barolo in the zone. Domenico Clerico was one of the Barolo Boys of the 1980s, who shortened macerations and brought in French barriques against considerable local resistance.

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.
