Domenico Clerico Trevigne Barbera d’Alba 2022
£24.75
The wine
Deep ruby, with blackberry jam and chocolate cake on the nose alongside strawberry yoghurt and redcurrant. The palate shows incredible balance, rich but elegant.
Barbera is the everyday red of Piedmont, and the useful thing about it is that it has Nebbiolo acidity without Nebbiolo tannin, so it drinks well young. Trevigne means three vineyards. The Clerico family sold their grapes to the local co-operative until Domenico and his wife Giuliana took over in 1976 and began bottling under their own name.

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.
