Domenico Clerico is a boutique, highly regarded wine producer based in Monforte d`Alba. Domenico sadly passed away in 2017 and the estate is now overseen by his wife Giuliana, and general manager Oscar Arrivabene. This Barolo comes from the single vineyard Ciabot Mentin, where the vines were planted in 1978. The 1999 vintage combines balsamic notes with mentholated herbs, along with black currants, dried roses and a touch of smoke. Silky to the core yet with a tart edge of wild berries.

The 1999 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra is a deep, emotional wine that brings back so many memories of tasting at the old Clerico winery with Domenico Clerico, his then winemaker Massimo Conterno and the team. Deep, rich and explosive on the palate, the 1999 Ciabot captures the spirit of the vintage and this era in Piedmont with its voluptuous depth, stunning richness and exceptional balance. Dark plum, mocha, espresso, spices and grilled herbs saturate the palate in a vivid, nuanced wine that is simply spellbinding.
