Domenico Clerico Barolo 2002
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Region: Piemonte
About the Producer
While Domenico Clerico will always be a Barolo Boy, he’s matured quite a bit since that revolutionary period in the ’80s, when he and the other members of Barolo’s backstreet vignerons stripped Barolo of its Slavonian oak and attired it with rich oak trappings and accoutrements. While Clerico was the most lavish at one point in these ministrations, employing 100% new barrique for his Barolos, his career has been marked by a shifting stylistic spectrum, a constant probing for the aesthetic that best suits his wines and their terroir. His new barrique-aged Barolos weren’t what he was looking for, coming across as overdone and melodramatic, though his Barolos continue to see a substantive degree of new oak. But Clerico hasn’t just been working out his involvement with barrique. In fact, his work with maceration periods have been more dramatic than his experimentation with barrique. In 1993, Clerico’s maceration periods ranged from five to eight days. In 2006, that period averaged 18. |
