Description:

The Domenico Clerico 2017 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra showcases fruit from old vines in Monforte d'Alba planted in 1978. This is a landmark wine that has forever dazzled and delighted, thanks to the purity and power of its fruit and its fine textural fiber. This 2017 vintage reveals a hint of vintage ripeness with candied cherry and orange peel, but the wine maintains its depth and complexity with plenty of tarry smoke and licorice. There were 200 magnums and 6,500 bottles released.  Wine Advocate 95
