NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Domenico Clerico Barolo Percristina is a bold and powerful wine with a deep ruby color.The nose is filled with aromas of ripe cherries, dried herbs, and a hint of earthy minerals. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and well-structured with smooth tannins and a persistent finish. The flavors of ripe cherries, sweet spices, and licorice are well-balanced with a hint of smokiness. This is an excellent wine that will continue to develop over time and best enjoyed with strong, flavorful dishes.
