From the acclaimed 2013 vintage, the Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo that captivates the senses. Scoring an impressive 97 points from Wine Advocate, this Barolo showcases a complex bouquet of ripe cherries, dried roses, and earthy truffle notes, underscored by a hint of spice from its time in oak. On the palate, it unfolds with a velvety texture and an elegant balance of acidity and tannins, leading to a long, persistent finish that reveals layers of dark fruit and mineral nuances. This wine is a perfect companion for a hearty dish like braised lamb shanks or a rich mushroom risotto. A smart buy for the quality, it truly delivers well beyond its peers in the realm of Barolo.
