We pour it for guests who want the prestige and power of Barolo from one of the region’s iconic names.

About the Winery

The Domenico Clerico estate was founded in 1976 in Monforte d’Alba, when the young Domenico Clerico took over a small family farm and set out to find the best plots in Barolo. He became a pioneer of single-cru bottlings and helped define a more refined, expressive style of Barolo. Following his passing in 2017, the winery continues under his family and team, faithful to his legacy.

Region & Grape

This wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo grown in the Barolo zone around Monforte d’Alba, in Piedmont. Nebbiolo is the great noble grape of the region, prized for its perfume, firm tannins, and remarkable ability to age. Barolo represents its most powerful and long-lived expression, drawn from the chalky, marl-rich hills of the Langhe.

Tasting Notes

Expect a fragrant nose of red fruit lifted by savory complexity from barrel aging. The palate is structured yet refined, with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, persistent finish. It is a Barolo of both power and grace, built to reward time in the glass and in the cellar.
