The 2019 Domenico Clerico Barolo Pajana Ginestra is expected to present a formidable profile typical of young, high-quality Barolo from the Ginestra cru. On the nose, look for intense aromas of red cherry, dried roses, tar, licorice, and hints of mint or eucalyptus, underscored by earthy and mineral notes. The palate will be full-bodied and powerful, with firm, well-structured tannins and bright acidity. Flavors will mirror the nose, with tart red fruit, savory spice, and a persistent finish that hints at great complexity to develop with age.
Originally planted in 1971, the Pajana vineyard was first bottled on its own in 1990 and was one of Clericos first purchases. The grapes are hand harvested and fermented in stainless steel before aging in barriques for sixteen months and a further sixteen months in botti after that. These are rich and powerful barolos with ripe black and red fruit spiced by barrique and florality. The tannins are more polished from time in small barrels, but still pack the punch that youd expect from Nebbiolo.
