Like the Pipparello, this is a blend of Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Montepulciano. Unlike the Pipparello, this one sees no oak.
The savory nose is full of cherries, earth, and herbal spices. Very deep and complex. On the palate the acidity is noticeably higher. Intense and brooding. Powerful dusty tannins.

2000 | Nebbiolo
Domenico Clerico; Pajana (Ginestra)
Piedmont - Langhe; Barolo, Monforte d'Alba, Italy
(92-94; Drink 2030-40)

Nose has cherry jam, wet leather, stewed red fruits, sweet tobacco and dark chocolate.
Palate has cherry mash, moist chocolate brownie, cedar and sea salt. Fading but present tannins.

12H decant, still needs airing, long life ahead. I'm a fan of 2000 Baroli. — 4 months ago

Surprisingly deep ruby in color but while it didn’t resemble most Nebbiolo wines to the eye it was clearly there on nose and palate. Black cherry, red cherry, cranberry, plum, violet, rose, tar, leather, cedar, truffle, prune, dried cherry, eart and forest floor. Terrific balance of the opulent flavors with the high acidity and ripe tannin. This was terrific. — 4 months ago

Fabulous. The nose is magical. Everything a Nebbiolo geek could ask for. Beautifully balanced with depth, finesse. Lovely smoke, olive, sour cherry, iron, sage. Great — 8 months ago
