Clerico's Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba shows all the allure of which this high altitude site is capable and Domenico Clerico's team interprets this vintage with elegance and intensity. Sweet macerated cherry, mint, spices, orange peel and raspberries linger on the lingering, vibrant and agile finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Full of leafy lightness and focused on cherry pit and redcurrant fruit, the wine is precise and elegant rather than powerful, with almost crisp acidity and velvety tannins. The finish is a little grimmer, though not rustic." Decanter

"Firm and quite deep, slightly nutty, tobacco and woody aroma of ripe red and black berries with leathery nuances and a hint of dried tomatoes. Firmly knit, tart juicy ripe fruit with flavours reminiscent of soy sauce, some smoke, coffee and herbal nuances, slightly mushroomy on the palate, some pepper, present ripe tannin and some bite, salt and a little salty lemon in the background, a hint of bacon, hints of dark chocolate, still very young, very good firm tart finish with grip. Has time." Wein-plus

"This red wine offers an appealing balance of cherry, currant, tar, eucalyptus and spice aromas with a solid, sinewy structure. Finishes with a blend of ripe fruit and spicy elements." Wine Spectator

"Sparkling ruby garnet, delicate lightening at the edges. Fragrant, playful nose, raspberries and strawberries, some cloves and discreet herbal spice. Structured and precise on the palate, starts with lots of juice, builds pressure, vibrant acidity, ripe tannin, spicy final." Falstaff

"A bright and primary red with aromas and flavours of cut strawberries, citrus and stones. Medium body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. Spicy. Crushed stones. Juicy and nicely chewy. Transparent. Drinkable after 2026." James Suckling

"The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba takes a few minutes to open up before offering that combination of dark berry fruit and rusty minerality that gives this part of the appellation power and structure." Wine Advocate
