Note di degustazione
Fruit for this wine comes from various vineyard parcels all located in Monforte d'Alba, and in fact, the plan is to identify this wine as being from this township starting with the 2017 vintage. Starting then, the front label will read Barolo di Monforte d'Alba, because the winemaking management at Domenico Clerico feels it is important to identify this wine with a geographic location. But for now, we have the 2015 Barolo. This is an extremely elegant and graceful expression with classic Monforte d'Alba characteristics: The wine shows a tight and powerful inner core and the qualities (integrated acidity and tannins) for long cellar aging. You have everything in this one package.

Monforte d’Alba. Tasted blind. Lustrous mid ruby. Subdued but with a clear underlying concentration of fruit. Supple and succulent and well balanced. Attractive tannic bite on the long and generous finish, which ends a little racy. (WS)
The 2015 Barolo is laced with crushed flowers, dried cherry, cedar, spice and tobacco, Soft and open-knit, the 2015 is an attractive, easygoing Barolo to drink now and over the next handful of years. Sweet red cherry, spice cake, leather, cedar and tobacco add shades of aromatic nuance, but above all else, the straight Barolo is a near-term drinker.
This young Barolo is really savory with dried-fruit, cedar and hot-stone character. Full-bodied, focused and intense. Very long and chewy finish. Drink from 2022.
