Barolo docg Ginestra Pajana Domenico Clerico 2019

The Barolo Ginestra Pajana by Domenico Clerico is an elegant and refined red wine, produced with Nebbiolo grapes from the microzone Pajana within the renowned cru "Ginestra" in Monforte d'Alba. Visually, it presents itself with a beautiful, intense garnet red color. The bouquet is broad and ethereal, with spicy and fruity aromas, featuring notes of ripe red fruit, jam, and nutmeg, evolving into hints of licorice, cinnamon, black pepper, chocolate, and subtle vanilla. On the palate, it is warm, intense, and enveloping, full-bodied, with round and soft tannins. Pleasantly persistent, the Barolo Ginestra Pajana by Domenico Clerico pairs perfectly with roasted or stewed red meats, game, and aged or lightly blue-veined cheeses, as well as typical first courses of Piedmontese tradition. It's a wine that ages gracefully, definitely worth buying, but to be enjoyed later on.
