We check multiple rating platforms for every wine where accessible: Vivino, Wine-Searcher, Wine Spectator, Decanter, James Suckling, Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Only verified scores matching the offered vintage or NV are shown and included.

Ratings are shown from 3.7/5 only when at least one contributing source confirms 10 reviews for this exact vintage or NV. Counts from different platforms are not added together.

5 exact platform scores are weighted equally. Native 99- and 100-point scales are normalized from 50→1 to their own maximum→5 (99→5 or 100→5); display and filtering use one decimal. Aggregator and critic-platform scores can partly overlap.

Description

Domenico Clerico Barolo Pajana 2016 is a cru Barolo from Ginestra in Monforte d'Alba. Its southern exposure and limestone- and clay-rich soil produce an intense Nebbiolo with a ripe fruit core and the structure to develop for decades.

Dark cherry, raspberry and plum come together on the nose with rose, licorice, tobacco, leather, cocoa and balsamic herbs. The palate is rich and layered, with powerful yet polished tannins and a long, savory finish.

An impressive Barolo for truffle risotto, braised beef, game or aged Parmesan. Preferably give it several hours of air or cellar it for further development.
