Barolo DOCG 'Ciabot Mentin' 2015 (750 ml.) Domenico Clerico
The Barolo 'Ciabot Mentin' by Domenico Clerico is an expression of great finesse and high class. It is produced from the eponymous vineyard, located within the Cru Ginestra. Long maceration and fermentation of the must for about 30 days and aging first for 16 months in barriques and then another 16 months in 50 hl barrels. The process concludes with a bottle maturation of about 2 years. The aroma is marked by red fruit, which presents itself in a crunchy, wild, and spirit-soaked form. This is followed by notes of licorice with hints of toasted and spiced notes. The taste is intense, engaging, and of great structure, with noble class. A wine with an almost unlimited lifespan. Excellent.

Domenico Clerico
In the heart of the Langhe, an enchanting territory where the hills seem to dance under the Piedmontese sky, stands the winery Domenico Clerico, one of the brightest gems of the Italian wine scene. Its history is deeply intertwined with the modern evolution of Barolo, a wine that has redefined itself, imprinting its name in the firmament of great Italian reds.

THE WINE
The Barolo 'Ciabot Mentin' by Domenico Clerico is an expression of great finesse and high class. It is made from the eponymous vineyard, located within the Cru Ginestra. Long maceration and fermentation of the must for about 30 days, followed by aging first for 16 months in barrique and then another 16 months in a 50 hl barrel. The process concludes with a bottle maturation of about 2 years. It has a pronounced aroma of red fruit, presented in a crunchy, wild, and spirit-like form. Notes of licorice follow with hints of toasted and spiced aromas. The taste is intense, engaging, and of great structure, with noble class. A wine with virtually unlimited aging potential. Excellent.
THE ESTATE
In the mid-1970s, specifically in 1976, Domenico Clerico, at the request of his father, chose to take over the family farm, which at the time covered about five hectares and produced grapes to be supplied to the nearby social winery. However, seeing the meager earnings and being convinced of the enormous potential of the Langhe lands, Domenico, assisted by his wife Giuliana in managing the estate, decided to begin vinifying his own grapes to produce quality wines.
With love and dedication, he began to care for his vines, trying to interpret their every need throughout the year. Meanwhile, Domenico purchased new well-positioned vineyard plots in the heart of Bussia, in the cru Ginestra and cru Mosconi, choosing land characterized by optimal microclimatic conditions.
Today, Domenico Clerico’s winery has 21 hectares of vineyards, located in some of the best sub-zones of Barolo in Monforte d’Alba and Serralunga d’Alba. At an altitude ranging from 150 to 450 meters above sea level, carefully and judiciously managing his rows, with the utmost respect for the environment, nature, biodiversity, and the ecosystem, he harvests pure and precious grapes, which translate into labels with a thousand facets, olfactorily seductive and gustatively complex.
Thus, hard work, sweat, and determination have given rise to what can currently be considered a vibrant and dynamic wine-growing reality, undoubtedly among the most representative wineries of Monforte d’Alba. The estate of Domenico Clerico particularly interprets the nebbiolo grape, producing wines that are overwhelming in olfactory notes, noble on the palate, and infinite in persistence. From Barolo “Pajana” to Barolo “Aeroplanservaj,” from Barolo “Ciabot Mentin” to Barolo “Percristina,” without forgetting Barbera and Dolcetto: simply extraordinary wines.
