Domenico Clerico
This rather small estate in Monforte d'Alba is mainly known for its Barolo, but it also excels at producing great Barbera and Dolcetto, as well as a delicious blend - Arte (Nebbiolo and Barbera). One of the leaders in the movement to modernize the winemaking process in Barolo, Domenico Clerico creates wines that are a bit more ripe fruit-oriented than a typical "traditionalist". However, he has such a deft and precise hand that the wines are never blowsy or overwrought. He concentrates on the primary component, the grape, not merely through winemaking techniques, but in the vineyard. The result is wines that are attractive in their youth but gain in elegance, depth and texture as they evolve.
