The 2020 Domenico Clerico Ciabot Mentin Barolo, still very young, will initially present with vibrant primary aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and plum, complemented by floral notes of dried roses and hints of licorice, tar, and sweet spices from oak aging. On the palate, it will be full-bodied with a powerful structure, marked by firm, chewy tannins and high, refreshing acidity. The fruit flavors will persist, evolving into more complex notes of earth, leather, and truffle with aeration. The finish is exceptionally long and commanding, showcasing the wine’s immense potential for development.
