Barolo Percristina Domenico Clerico 2006 originates from the renowned Mosconi MGA of Monforte d`Alba. This vintage offers a complex bouquet marked by balsamic notes, along with aromas of dried herbs, dark fruits, and anise. On the palate, it reveals an elegant texture and a notable structure, demonstrating the potential for extended ageing. Domenico Clerico, a pioneering figure in the Langhe region, is known for his dedication to expressing terroir in his wines. This Barolo exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship and tradition.

The 2006 Barolo Per Cristina is a gorgeous wine that transports us back to a beautiful vintage that is already beginning to show spectacular results. The bouquet offers a distinctive balsamic character with grilled rosemary, cherry cola, licorice and fresh menthol aromas. The effect is ethereal, tightly layered and ever-changing. This Barolo presents a beautifully silky texture that lingers on the palate for many long minutes. This wine will march proudly forward for the next two decades.

- Good bright, dark red. Earthier and lower-toned on the nose than the 2007, showing a slightly pruney quality to the red fruit and nutty oak aromas. Large-scaled, deep and mouthfilling, but this strikes me as a bit evolved for a 2006. Finishes with huge, palate-saturating tannins and excellent length. The Percristina gets three full years in new barriques, then a year in stainless steel prior to bottling, and is held back at the winery for further aging. Clerico told me he may release the 2007 Percristina before the 2006, which strikes me as a good idea for the 2007 but questionable for the 2006, which appears to have less of a future.
