Domenico Clerico Barolo Percristina DOCG

The Barolo Percristina commemorates Domenico Clerico's daughter Cristina, who died many years ago. It is considered the flagship of the company. Robert Parker noted: There are so many nuances to discover: a Barolo full of captivating sensuality. Whoever can get hold of a bottle should not hesitate, it is superb! The grapes come from the 1.7 hectare Mosconi vineyard. The majority of the vines were planted in 1955. The yield is between 3500 and 4000 kilograms per hectare. Maceration in red tanks lasts 20 to 30 days, and barrel aging lasts 18 months. This is followed by 3 ½ years in large Slavonian oak barrels and 5 years in bottles.
