Description Sub Region Producer Notes
 
Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra—the house flagship—derives from grapes cultivated in the celebrated Ginestra cru of Barolo's Monforte d'Alba. Clerico initially purchased 3.3 hectares in Ginestra in 1981, and enlarged his holdings in 2001, with the acquisition of an additional 5.4 hectares. The wine is known for its demonstrative aromatic expression, a quality that is attributed to the vines' south to southeast exposure and altitude of 300 meters. While Clerico aged Ginestra for a period of time exclusively in 700-liter tonneaux, the current medium employed is barrique (90% of which is new). The Barolo was named for the affable half of the sibling pair—Mentin and Fiore—that owned the property prior to Clerico, as well as the house (ciabot  in Pietmontese dialect) that resided in the vineyard.

This beautifully balanced Barolo is delectably rich. A single-vineyard bottling that expresses the merits of the Ginestra vineyard's distinctive high altitude  site. Rich, but soft ripe fruit, with layers of violet, thick tannins and long, clean finish.

DC Barolo July 29, 2010
Reviewer: Frank J. Delmonico from Brooklyn, NY United States  
I've had them all; we drank the Domenico Clerico Ginestra after Rob at Italian Wine Merchants turned us on to a bottle at an event.

I'd call it just shy of a knock out wine, that's probably because we drank it 20 years too soon, but, my wife and I couldn't resist.  This is a must if you love Italian Wine.

Thanks Rob,
