The fruit for this top-class Barolo, which is exceptional not only because of its six different labels, comes from the MGA Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, whose vines were planted in 1994. Aeroplan Servaj (little aeroplane) is the affectionate nickname that Domenico Clerico's father gave his young, free-spirited son. Exciting bouquet of wild cherry, candied orange peel, ploughed earth and rusty nails. There is a subtle sweetness in the primary fruit, but the wine is mainly defined by its very refined, rich and savoury side. As it progresses into an impressive finish, it offers impeccable balance and straightforwardness. SUPERIORE.DE

"A youthful wine, almost like an ester, with strawberry and red cherry aromas and graphite flavours. It has a full body and firm, dusty tannins that are chewy but austere, with a refreshing finish." James Suckling

"Aromas of cedar forest, liquorice and coffee introduce the sweet, juicy fruit. Crispness and vibrancy attest to the freshness of the site, while the tannins up front are ripe and mature but show wonderful completeness as they stretch across the palate. Hints of mint, vanilla and thyme add further subtlety." Decanter

"The Domenico Clerico 2021 Barolo Aeroplan Servaj is a powerful expression of Nebbiolo with thick layers of intensity, dark fruit and spice and impressive depth. This full-bodied Barolo will uphold many good years of cellar aging thanks to the integrity of its primary fruit, the firm tannins and balanced acidity." Wine Advocate
