Fabulous wine. Whim of a bit since I needed a wine that started with D for my book club Friendsgiving! Getting more for Thanksgiving! — 2 years ago

Not sure I’ve selected the appropriate wine. Anyway, this one is super fruity but still dark. Black cherry and blackberries and maybe a little black currant—though black currant may be too strong a flavor here. — a year ago

The 2020 “del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba” is a traditional blend of three MGAs from Serralunga: mostly younger vines from Baudana, Cerretta and now, some fruit from Costabella. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2020 pours a beautiful garnet with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with tart and ripe notes of Morello cherry, pomegranate, talcum powder, red roses, dry earth and old wood. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. I took the opportunity to enjoy this alongside the “Baudana” and this didn’t have the same elegance but it’s a very complete and balanced Barolo. Drink now through 2040. — 7 months ago
This weekend we opened the 2018 Domenico Clerico Azienda Agricola Di Viberti Giuliana-Monforte D' Alba Barolo.
On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, licorice, roses, clay pots and dusty soil.
On the palate there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, anise, rose hip, leather and dried herbs.
This wine is medium to full bodied medium+ to high acidity and medium+ firm tannins that move into a long red and black fruit leathery finish. Enjoy the weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago
