Clerico's Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba shows all the appeal that this high altitude vineyard is capable of and Domenico Clerico's team interprets each vintage with elegance and intensity. Sweet macerated cherry, mint, spices, orange peel and raspberries linger on the lingering, vibrant and agile finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Firm, rather tart, youthful, slightly smoky aroma of more red than black berries with nutty tones, dried rose petals, tobacco ash, pomegranate seeds and traces of iodine and tar. Ripe, tart, juicy, clear, youthful fruit, present, yet crumbly tannin, smoky and slightly tobacco notes, a little dried herbs and rose petals again, persistent on the palate, moderate acidity, a certain depth, ethereal spice in the background, again pomegranate seeds, some salt in the background, again a hint of tar, peppery traces, elegant, almost dancing style with freshness, very good, firm, juicy and spicy finish." Wein-Plus

"Bright, light ruby colour with garnet-red nuances. Spicy and with compact fruit on the nose, notes of wild berries, clove and lemongrass, a hint of graphite. Velvety and soft on the palate, then with beautiful tension, precise fruit and fine freshness, very long." Falstaff

"Ripe fruit and floral aromas, complex palate with mixed berries, dried plums, pressed potpourri, dried flowers and leather, with prominent tannins." Decanter

"A mix of ripe cherry, strawberry, sweet spice and tobacco flavors mark this supple, accessible red, whose refined tannins leave a light powdery feel on the finish." Wine Spectator

"The Domenico Clerico 2020 Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba is characterised by spiced cranberry and blood orange. This vintage is open and front-heavy overall, but touches on all the main elements of the Nebbiolo play list. The wine is lean with young tannins. All in all, the oak is pleasantly restrained, and the wine only needs another year or two in the bottle for the fruit to fully develop." Wine Advocate

"This Barolo shows plums, cranberries, fresh roses, violets, pomegranate and blood oranges. This interpretation shows juicy acidity and ripe tannins with a slightly toasty finish and the dustiness of Nebbiolo, but with a spicy finish centred on liquorice. The tannins will soften and develop more complexity in two to three years." James Suckling

"An impressive example of the characteristics and potential of Barolo di Monforte. Blackberry on the nose, with. Notes of black pepper in grains and romanmint. Drink intense and taut, whipped dark-skinned fruit, sweet spices and important mentholation finish." Luca Gardini
