Domenico Clerico Barolo ‘Percristina’ is an outstanding Barolo made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the prestigious Serralunga d’Alba region of Italy. Known for its bold and structured style, this wine benefits from the unique terroir of limestone and clay soils, contributing to its robust character. The vinification process includes a maceration of approximately 20-30 days followed by aging in French oak barrels for about 24-36 months, which adds to its tannic structure and enhances its complexity. This Barolo often receives critical acclaim and has been recognized in renowned wine publications for its depth and aging potential, reflecting the late Domenico Clerico’s dedication to quality winemaking in the Langhe region.
