Domenico Clerico is one of the leading producers figures in Barolo, celebrated for crafting wines of the utmost quality and distinct sense of place. This release originates from a single vineyard – Ciabot Mentin – where Nebbiolo vines were planted in 1978. The 1990 vintage in Piedmont was notably exceptional, and Barolos from that year are currently scarce to find.

The 1990 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra has developed a bit since I last tasted it about two years ago. Here the fruit is decidedly richer and more opulent than the 1990, but the early signs of maturity have also set in with slightly more advanced notes of coffee beans, mint and violets. The finish is long, powerful and utterly convincing. Antonio Galloni1st February 2010
