Domenico Clerico's Barolo Ciabot Mentin 2008 is one of the Langhe's most celebrated crus, a wine that embodies power, elegance, and depth. Made from the Ginestra vineyard, one of Monforte d'Alba's finest, this Barolo is the product of an artisanal and visionary approach that has made Clerico an absolute benchmark for great Nebbiolos for aging.
The 2008 vintage is considered classic, balanced, and particularly suited to long aging. Ciabot Mentin presents a complex and layered aromatic profile: dried rose, ripe cherry, licorice, dark spices, tobacco, and balsamic notes, supported by fine and authoritative tannins. On the palate, it is deep and enveloping, with a substantial structure and a very long finish, typical of the great Barolos of Monforte.
A wine for connoisseurs, perfect for those seeking an iconic bottle, already in splendid shape but still capable of evolving.
