Domenico Clerico is a boutique wine producer based near Monforte d`Alba in the Piedmont region. They have gained a reputation for crafting exceptional wines, with a focus on producing rich and aromatic expressions from the Barolo appellation. The ‘Pajana’ wine sourced from a vineyard originally planted in 1971. The 1990 vintage reveals a harmonious and integrated nose, featuring nuances of dark red cherries, raspberries, subtle earthy notes, liquorice, dried roses, hints of oak, woody spices, tobacco, and well-aged leather. This full-bodied wine offers a well-proportioned and complex palate characterized by crisp, elevated acidity and refined tannins.

The 1990 Barolo Pajana is the first wine Clerico produced from this vineyard. It is also one of the most positive surprises in my recent tastings of the vintage. In 1990 Clerico made this Barolo using only the old portions of the vineyard, and that may be the reason the wine has aged so beautifully. Richer, rounder and softer than the Ciabot Mentin Ginestra, the 1990 Pajana is just superb in a sumptuous, enveloping expression of ripe, dark fruit. Tobacco, cedar, sweet spices, roasted coffee beans and plums are just some of the nuances that emerge from this full-bodied, intense Barolo. Clerico`s 1990 Barolo Pajana is a gem! - Antonio Galloni
