Domenico Clerico 2018 Barolo DOCG 750ml

The team at Domenico Clerico interprets this vintage with elegance and intensity. These two contrasting descriptors can be applied to the 2018 Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba, which shows excellent balance overall. The bouquet reveals dark fruit, ferrous earth, licorice and grilled herb. But you also get lifted aromas of wild roses and violets over a generous, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel.
