Domenico Clerico Barolo 2017

Domenico Clerico Barolo 2017

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

A massive surprise, the oak is no longer the dominant feature of the Clerico wines. Hoo fucken’ ray! We have balance! I can see fruit, I can see the Commune and I can happily swallow the beverage and want to go back for another sniff. I couldn’t even say that about the 2016’s. So what’s going on? Domenico did so much to help revitalise Barolo, it would however be fair to say that after the early revolution, evolution was very slow. The wines often dominated by overt oak and tough tannins

Luigi Pira Barolo del Commune di Serralunga 2019

Luigi Pira Barolo del Commune di Serralunga 2019

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

I recall being impressed by Pira's 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo a couple of years on and the Barolo 'Commune di Serralunga' is impressing too! Openning in the glass with vibrant red fruits, tea, a little earthiness, slate, licorice and more. The layered density of the fruit with zippy acid has you salivating for more. The tannins are composed and front, mid-palate dominant, that slate comes through here to. Tight at the moment with 3-5 years it should fall into place, the juicy acid marry into the wine

Complete liking this the shape, flow, development and harmony are impressive. Very complete super fine long tannins with personality. Excellent flavour profile with a little baking spice. Freshness and energy here, signing. Plush, fine and delicious.I was really taken by the 2020 Propiedad, a pale and bright ruby-colored wine with subtleness and elegance despite its 14.5% alcohol. The old vines are a majority of Garnacha and maybe 8% other varieties. The wine is floral, with notes of sto

The hot tip for the Langhe Nebbiolo give it a year or two in bottle before you crack into it. It will be tightly wound when young and take that time to reveal itself. Looking forward to trying Canonica's.
