Tasting notes
The fact that Domenico Clerico has re-introduced its base Barolo is great news. The 2012 Barolo is a beautifully rich and generous wine that pulls out the best of the Nebbiolo grape (sourced mostly from the Ginestra vineyard) and the opulent style of winemaking that defines Domenico Clerico. There is a good amount of oak present, but the way it is integrated is always a source of stylistic inspiration. Dark fruit and blackberry preserves segue to cinnamon, sweet smoke and grilled herb.

Domenico Clerico's 2012 Barolo is an attractive, entry-level offering to drink over the next few years. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries and mint lead into the supple, open-knit finish. The Barolo is a blend of fruit from all of Clerico's vineyard holdings.
