From the esteemed Pajana vineyard in the heart of Barolo, Domenico Clerico’s 2019 Barolo offers a powerful and elegant expression of Nebbiolo. Known for its depth and complexity, this wine showcases layers of dark fruit, floral nuances, and earthy undertones, making it a standout in the world of Barolo.
The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, complemented by delicate floral notes of rose and violet. Subtle earthy nuances of tobacco and a touch of leather add depth and intrigue. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with firm tannins that provide a solid foundation while allowing the fruit and floral notes to shine. The acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant, and the finish is long and refined, leaving lingering flavors of dark fruit, earth, and spice.
This Barolo pairs beautifully with roasted meats, braised lamb, or rich pasta dishes. While it is drinking beautifully now, the 2019 vintage has the structure to age gracefully, revealing even more complexity and refinement as it evolves.
