A very special, late release of just 2,300 bottles, the Domenico Clerico 2011 Barolo Percristina is stunning. If you can get your hands on a bottle, you will be rewarded with impressive finesse and the kind of tiny detailing that can only come to Nebbiolo after a decade of oak and bottle aging. Old vines in the Mosconi cru supply the fruit for this wine, with notes of dried cherry, crushed flowers, spice, tar and licorice. This was a hot and not always easy vintage, but the Clerico crew has pulled out the very best of that vintage with robust, concentrated fruit and all its inner elegance intact.

Sun-kissed hay, rose, cherry, berry and earth flavors mark this taut, linear red. Compact and lightly astringent on the finish, with a lingering impression of ripe fruit. Best from 2024 through 2037. 209 cases made, 90 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
