Aldo Clerico | Barolo

This is Aldo's first wine made from 5 different Barolo designated vineyards surrounding his home in Monforte d'alba. He vinifies each single vineyard and then does an assemblage, creating each vintage a unique expression of his nebbiolo vineyards. This garnet colored Barolo has red fruit, rose and spicy leather and tea leaf aromas with elegant structure, long finish leaving a silky mouthfeel. On the nose it is very intense while floral notes mix with typical vineyard scents of violets and red berries. On the palate, the violets blend with licorice flavors and noticeable tannins. A creamy texture from the oak barrels creates a pleasant mix of fresh yet complex flavors.
