Tasting notes
A firm, structured 2017 with pretty balance and finesse for the vintage. Medium-to full-bodied with tight, integrated tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Attractive strawberry and cherry character. Drinkable now, but better in 2023.

Monforte d'Alba. Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. A little dusty and a little reluctant on the nose. Succulent fruit that still needs to open up further and clay-like tannins. Plenty of stuffing and supple with a firm tannic structure. (WS)
The 2017 Barolo has perfumed aromas of fennel, cranberry, fresh tobacco, and dried roses. Revealing a refined yet angular structure, with notes of ripe cherry, orange zest, and mineral-rich earth., this is a great entry wine from Clerico, delicering balanced structure and a polished finish. Drink 2022-2040.
