This 2018 Ciabot Mentin Barolo Ginestra from Domenico Clerico showcases the power and elegance typical of the Ginestra cru. On the nose, expect intense aromatics of dried roses, morello cherry, licorice, tar, and hints of mint and balsamic notes, evolving into savory spice, leather, and forest floor with age. The palate is full-bodied and impeccably structured, with firm yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of red and black fruits, plum, and complex earthy undertones of tobacco, truffle, and mineral lead to a long, persistent, and age-worthy finish.
