1997 vintage. Plenty of time to decant and it opened to a very complex and balanced wine. Cherry, olive, green pepper, leather, hay, eucalyptus, earthy with nice minerality. Has an umami character. For me…a little funk of barnyard and brett make it muah! — a year ago
This 2019 is drinking now although a little tannic in mid palate for sipping on its own. Add food snd it’s a whole different story. Paired perfectly with a pan seared big eye tuna steak. Cherry and licorice aromas and grilled cherry is primary fruit on palate. A great value Nebbiolo when A Barolo is out of reach, about $25 retail. — 2 years ago
This weekend we opened the 2018 Domenico Clerico Azienda Agricola Di Viberti Giuliana-Monforte D' Alba Barolo.
On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, licorice, roses, clay pots and dusty soil.
On the palate there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, anise, rose hip, leather and dried herbs.
This wine is medium to full bodied medium+ to high acidity and medium+ firm tannins that move into a long red and black fruit leathery finish. Enjoy the weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago
Often referred to as “Baby Barolo.” Bright ruby color. Red/black cherry fruit aromas with a hint of balsamic. Bright cherry flavors with touches of leather and earth. Full bodied with a long and lingering finish. Tannins are noticeable and rounded, but they are not overwhelming. Good balance and nice freshness. — 2 years ago
