This weekend we opened the 2018 Domenico Clerico Azienda Agricola Di Viberti Giuliana-Monforte D' Alba Barolo.
On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, licorice, roses, clay pots and dusty soil.
On the palate there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, anise, rose hip, leather and dried herbs.
This wine is medium to full bodied medium+ to high acidity and medium+ firm tannins that move into a long red and black fruit leathery finish. Enjoy the weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago
Deep garnet color. Aromas of bright/ripe/sweet red fruit, rose petals, charcoal and light oak. Ripe red cherry and plum fruit on the palate with hints of sweet spices. Long finish with pleasant notes of wood smoke. Juicy tannins and quite elegant for such a young Nebbiolo based wine. Quite fresh and invigorating. Thanks for sharing, Keith S. — 2 days ago
1997 vintage. Plenty of time to decant and it opened to a very complex and balanced wine. Cherry, olive, green pepper, leather, hay, eucalyptus, earthy with nice minerality. Has an umami character. For me…a little funk of barnyard and brett make it muah! — a year ago
Often referred to as “Baby Barolo.” Bright ruby color. Red/black cherry fruit aromas with a hint of balsamic. Bright cherry flavors with touches of leather and earth. Full bodied with a long and lingering finish. Tannins are noticeable and rounded, but they are not overwhelming. Good balance and nice freshness. — 2 years ago

This 2019 is drinking now although a little tannic in mid palate for sipping on its own. Add food snd it’s a whole different story. Paired perfectly with a pan seared big eye tuna steak. Cherry and licorice aromas and grilled cherry is primary fruit on palate. A great value Nebbiolo when A Barolo is out of reach, about $25 retail. — 2 years ago

Another solid vintage of this consistently well made wine. Dark ruby/purple color. Intense aromas of blue and black fruit, red and purple flowers and wet stones. Blackberry, boysenberry and plum fruit on the palate with additional flavors of coffee and minerals. Long and earthy finish. Deep and dark concentration. Medium bodied and very silky tannin structure. Mouth watering acidity. Food friendly. Very good representation of the varietal. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 2 days ago
