About Domenico Clerico

Owner Domenico Clerico at his Piedmont vineyard with a modern approach to the Barolo wine process seein the grape not the production process as the key to a qualty wine. He is continuing to make his mark as a relative "newbie" 1976 in a amongst historically grounded estates. Domenico Clerico wines exudes the "eros" in Barolos with delectable Dolcetto and Barbera.

“One of the most gifted winemakers in Piedmont...these are wines of extraordinary richness, amazing aromatics, and sensual personalities that satiate both the hedonistic and the intellectual senses." - Robert Parker, Jr.

Clerico is one of the most respected names in all Barolo, and his wines are renowned for both winemaking of the highest quality and for exceptional character, deriving from outstanding vineyard holdings in four of the greatest crus of Monforte: Ginestra, Bussia, Pajana and Mosconi. The Barbera d’Alba and Dolcetto d’Alba from this estate are an easy and affordable way to enjoy the genius of this winemaker, and represent two of the greatest wines made from those varietals. Clerico’s single-cru Barbera d’Alba “Trevigne” is matured briefly in barriques, 40% of which are new. His Dolcetto “Visadi” regularly receives 90 points from the major international publications. Barrique-aged Nebbiolo/Barbera blend “Arte” was the original “super-Piedmont” wine; Marc de Grazia and Clerico devised this blend together in 1983. His 2004 Baroli, the Ciabot Mentin Ginestra and Pajana, most recently confirmed the estate's superiority with 97 points from Parker for the former and 95 points from Spectator for the latter.
