More Barolo: Azelia and Domenico Clerico

A highly anticipated visit to the maker of Wine Spectator's 2011 No. 8 Wine of the Year

Posted: Nov 29, 2011 10:45am ET

Azelia was founded in 1920, a branch of the Scavino family that today is run by fourth-generation vintner Luigi Scavino and his son Lorenzo. Half of the 37-acre vineyard surface is devoted to Barolo, with an average annual production of 6,250 cases.

The estate is small enough for the family to operate with the help of some part-time workers. It is named after a wild flower from the region, but there is also a vineyard near the winery with called Azelia.

The style of wines at Azelia emphasizes fresh fruit with the underlying elements of terroir. For example, its Dolcetto is refined and elegant, while the Barolos, most from Serralunga, exhibit more structure, with the exception of the charming and graceful Bricco Fiasco.

The Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo Langhe are fermented in rotofermentors and aged in stainless steel. The Barbera is aged in one-year-old barrels for 14 to 16 months once the malolactic has finished. Maceration depends on the vintage, but generally is 20 to 25 days for the Barolos and 10 days for the Dolcetto.

After five to six days of settling, the Nebbiolo destined for Barolo is aged in large, 25- and 30-hectoliter casks of Austrian and Slavonian oak, with the exception of the Barolos Bricco Fiasco and San Rocco. These go into barrique, 20 percent new and 80 percent one year old. "We don't use more than 20 percent new oak so we don't cover the Nebbiolo perfume," explained Lorenzo.

The Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco dell'Oriolo comes from high-elevation vineyards in Montelupo Albese, near Diano d'Alba, with sandy soils and a south-facing exposure. The vines are 40 years old. The 2010 is a fresh, peppery, raspberry-flavored red, with a vibrant, firm frame.

Azelia's Barbera d'Alba Vigneto Punta comes from 60- to 65-year-old vines planted in a southwest-facing hilltop in Castigilione. It exudes floral, black currant and licorice aromas, with cherry and licorice flavors matched to a creamy, rich texture.

The Barolo 2007 hails from six vineyards in Serralunga (70 percent) and Castiglione (30 percent). Perfumed, with fruit and spice notes, it's firm, rich and dense, with chocolate, cherry and plum flavors. Mineral accents grace the finish. The Barolo Bricco Fiasco represents the historical site of the family, first bottled separately in the 1978 vintage. Its fragrant floral, cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors are pure, aligned to an elegant profile, with charm and a long finish. The vines there are 65 years old.

The Barolo Margheria shows a chunky, dense profile, a fruity mix of cherry and strawberry with a savory finish. Scavino purchased this parcel in 2002; the vines are now 40 to 45 years old. Barolo San Rocco, also from Serralunga, was purchased 10 years earlier. An austere version, it offers spice and bittersweet chocolate notes with muscle and assertive tannins.

Scavino bought vines in Bricco Voghera in 2000. This is the source of the Barolo Riserva Voghera Brea 2004, made only in the best years. From vines more than 75 years old, it features a complex nose of eucalyptus, cherry, tobacco, spice and chocolate. A core of sweet fruit is augmented by savory mineral elements.

From Azelia it was on to the eponymous Domenico Clerico, a visit I was anticipating since we chose his Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra 2006 as the No. 8 wine in this year's Wine Spectator Top 100.

Clerico, with a total of 52 acres of vineyards, is just putting the finishing touches on a new state-of-the-art winery that is designed to make wine from the bottom level up. It's an environmentally sensitive building with plenty of room for fermentation, wood aging and storage. The 2008 Barolos Ciabot Mentin and Pajana and 2007 Aeroplan Servaj were bottled there in July.

Clerico's Dolcetto Langhe Visadi 2010, fermented and aged in stainless steel, includes grapes from vineyards in Dogliani, thus the Langhe appellation. It's pure and full of macerated cherry, fresh and supple with a lingering finish. The Barbera d'Alba Trevigne 2009 exudes a meaty, dense profile with dark plum and blackberry flavors. It spends 14 months in barrique, 50 percent new and 50 percent one year old.

Capisme-e 2010, the estate's Langhe Nebbiolo, like the Dolcetto, sees no oak aging. In its second vintage, the grapes come from the San Pietro vineyard in Monforte, whose 30-year-old vines formerly went into Clerico's Langhe Rosso Arte blend of Nebbiolo (90 percent) and Barbera (10 percent). It offers cherry, licorice and tobacco notes, with soft but still supportive tannins.

Clerico export manager Luciano Racca and cellar master Gianmatteo "Jimmy" Raineri presented several vintages of Barolos. From Pajana, a vineyard in the Ginestra cru with 35-year-old vines, the 2010 Barolo is packed with flesh and fruit; the 2009 is ripe, with mint and floral aromas; the 2008 still suffers from its bottling in July, yet reveals purity and balance in a sleek, linear way. The 2007 evokes spice and dried cherry flavors on a firm, refined frame. It should be approachable soon. It was aged two years in barriques, 80 percent new and 20 percent one year old.

The Ciabot Mentin undergoes the same wood aging. It's a more powerful Barolo than Pajana, with the 2010, '09 and '07 showing lovely ripe fruit, licorice and tobacco flavors. The 2008 is the most elegant of the four vintages. All show fine potential.

Aeroplan Servaj is a new project for Clerico, coming from a 4-acre leased parcel in the Badarina cru of Serralunga. The name means "wild airplane," a nickname Clerico's father coined for the free-spirited young Domenico. It is aged six months longer than Ciabot Mentin or Pajana, also in 80 percent new barriques and 20 percent second use.

Domenico Clerico's new Barolo, Aeroplan Servaj, comes in a collection of six colorful labels.

The inaugural 2006 Aeroplan Servaj offers the textbook cherry, licorice and tobacco flavors of Barolo, but this is very tannic right now, slightly rustic and dry on the finish. I preferred the 2007 Aeroplan Servaj, bottled at the end of July, for its iron and mineral aromas and savory eucalyptus and tobacco flavors. It too is firm yet long and expressive. A barrel sample of the 2010 revealed an impressive combination of richness and structure, ripe fruit and mineral notes.

Percristina, Clerico's "riserva" in terms of aging but not in name, sees five years total, three in 100 percent new barriques and two in tank before bottling. The 2004 Percristina is stunning, exhibiting sweet licorice, cherry and floral aromas married to a rich, supple profile. The tannins are refined, with complexity and a long, mineral aftertaste. The "old clone" vines, some planted in 1947, come from the Mosconi cru in Monforte d'Alba, with a south-southeast exposure.

The 2008 vintage was more difficult, the humid weather requiring more spraying than the previous two years. The favorable summer weather allowed the grapes to ripen fully and the harvest was more typical, with picking in early- to mid-October for the Nebbiolo destined to become Barolo.

"We are big fans of '08," said Racca. "The vintage is very direct, not so impressive, but direct. It's something we like."

"It's a vintage without the expression and power of '07," added Raineri. "It was a different vintage from the beginning. The flowering was uneven, so there was a natural green harvest. In the end, this was a good thing."

These are big, rich wines, ripe and packed with fruit and dense tannins. The maceration times have increased since Clerico first began using rotofermentors, up to 30 days for the Barolos, with barriques the barrel size of choice for aging.

2006 Domenico Clerico Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra

Giovanni Corino

Website: www.corino.it

The Corino brothers are the rising stars of Piedmont: “Readers looking for up-front, sexy Barolos made with a Pomerol-like lushness should check out those from this La Morra producer" -Robert Parker, Jr.

Corino 兄弟是 Piedmont 的明日之星 : 消費者要找尋一款有活力又性感的 Barolos，且要像 Pomerol 一樣的優雅，就應該去試試 La Morra 產區裡 Corino 的酒。- Robert Parker, Jr.

Giovanni Corino 於 1952 年在 La Morra 買了葡萄園釀酒，大部分的酒都是賣給了其他酒商，只留少部份賣給親戚朋友，直到兩個兒子 Renato (1963)、Giuliano (1968)長大後才創立自己的品牌。在 2001 年兩兄弟決定把繼承父親的酒莊 (位於 Arborina 產區) 一分為二，哥哥 Renato Corino (本公司已代理進口)繼承的葡萄園離原酒莊有一公里遠，並在葡萄園旁蓋新的酒莊，弟弟 Giuliano Corino 則延用父親的酒莊及名稱 Giovanni Corino。

Corino 的酒款深受良師益友 Elio Altare 的影響，在 1987 年 Renato 和 Giuliano 兩兄弟聽從好友 Elio Altare 的建議，進行疏果降底產量以提升品質，並購買不鏽鋼桶發酵，使用法國小橡木桶儲酒。縮短發酵前低溫浸泡的時間只有4-5天，發酵後依個別酒款儲藏在橡木桶中，最長達24個月，因此年產量非常稀少只有3700箱。

Corino 兄弟是 Piedmont 裡的明日之星，他們的酒是 La Morra 產區 Barolo的美麗典範，因為 Corino 擁有 La Morra 裡三個最優秀的單一Grand Cru葡萄園—Arborina、Giachini 和 Rocche，均是最具代表性及最令人贊嘆的酒款。莊主 Giuliano Corino 釀出的酒擁有濃郁的果味，一系列的酒款都有如天鵝絨般光滑，複雜的層次不僅芳香且有不可思議的優雅酒質，均衡的酸度和細緻的單寧讓他們的酒是如此的完美。

Robert Parker 最新評論如下 :

“Proprietor Giuliano Corino has a stunning set of 2007 Baroli on his hands. The wines capture the ripe, open style of the vintage while preserving considerable freshness, aromatic complexity and structure. These are wonderfully complete Baroli that merit serious consideration. I expect most of the wines will drink well with a minium of cellaring, and continue to develop complexity with further time in bottle.”

A beguiling, deep bouquet melds seamlessly into dark cherries, menthol and spices as the 2006 Barolo Giachini flows onto the palate.

Score 93 – International Wine Cellar.

Albino Rocca

或許有一打的 Barolo 酒莊可以尊稱為 “ 偉大的“ 。但在 Barbaresco ，優秀的酒莊比 Barolo 更稀少，事實上，在 Albino Rocca 顯露頭角之前的 1990 年代中期，只有  Angelo Gaja 和 Bruno Giacosa 兩家可稱為最優秀的酒莊。Rocca 今天的地位可以說是 Barbaresco 新一代酒莊的領導者，尤其是他優秀的單一葡萄園酒款“ Brich Ronchi“，更讓 Rocca 酒莊提升到精英酒莊之列。

Vigneto Brich Ronchi 酒款的突然竄起，終於讓 Albino Rocca 多年來的努力得到了應有的回報，現在他的兒子 Angelo 更是把 Ronchi 葡萄園推向更高的巔峰。

莊主 Angelo Rocca 對品質非常要求，所有的葡萄都來自自有的葡萄園，不管在葡萄園或酒窖裡都一絲不苟，他追求均衡合諧的型態，並融合傳統和現代的技術，堅毅沉靜的把葡萄園擴大到現在的 18 公頃。酒莊近幾年有重大的改變，Angelo Rocca 決定回歸傳統--使用大型橡木桶，只剩下小部份使用小橡木桶，但讓人仍感覺是現代派的酒款，這些酒是如此醇美、純淨和嚴謹，橡木桶的味道被取而代之，許多味道更被體現出來，有黑櫻桃、花香和 Nebbiolo 可口的特性都完美的呈現出來。

Albino Rocca 酒莊越釀越好是有目共睹的，是品嘗 Barbaresco 不可錯過的選擇，Robert Parker、Wine Spectator 都給了高分的肯定，很多年份也得到 Gambero Rosso “三只酒杯”的肯定，Albino Rocca 是一個價性比很高的卓越酒莊。

酒款介紹

Albino Rocca Barbaresco Vigneto Brich Ronchi

100% Nebbiolo，葡萄園 5 公頃位於海拔 240 英呎，葡萄樹 50-70 歲，24 個月的儲藏，80% 在大橡木桶，其他在小橡木桶，年產量只有 1000 箱。這瓶酒令人難以置信的感動，呈現出非常集中、黑苺果醬和菇類的熱情香氣，酒體豐富扎實，真是一瓶優秀的酒款，有絲綢一般的單寧，優雅的尾醞似乎無窮無盡，極為均衡美味。

Albino Rocca Barbaresco OVELLO Vigneto Loreto

100% Nebbiolo，葡萄園 0.5 公頃位於海拔 240 英呎，葡萄樹 30-35歲，24 個月儲藏於大橡木桶中，年產量只有 250 箱。優雅柔順，有美味的梅子和紅莓果，還有肉桂和石灰礦物質的味道，全部都在這瓶酒體豐富單寧扎實的酒中。

Albino Rocca Barbaresco Duemilasette

100% Nebbiolo，葡萄園 2 公頃位於海拔 310 英呎，葡萄樹 11 歲，20-24 個月儲藏於大橡木桶中，年產量只有 800 箱。這瓶 Barbaresco 有集中的黑苺味道，結構柔軟，還有驚人的超長尾醞，應該是出自於法國小橡木桶之中，可是 Rocca 用的卻是大橡木桶，但處理的很完美。可見的使用的是非常優秀的葡萄。

Antonio Galloni said “These are three (above) beautiful wines from proprietor Angelo Rocca. The house style seems to be moving towards a more elegant approach, and the early results are very promising.”

Antonio Galloni 說 : 上述三款Angelo Rocca的佳釀，一直以來越釀越好，而且越來越優雅，年輕時就可以感受到他們大有可為。

A picture of elegance, this Barbaresco exudes rose, strawberry, Raspberry and spice flavours, picking up a chewy texture as it cruises to a long finish. Medium-weight, vibrant and harmonious. Best from 2013 through 2018. Score 94 – Wine Spectator.

完美的優雅表現，這瓶 Barbaresco 散發出玫瑰、草莓、覆盆和香料等複雜的美味，悠長且柔順的尾醞徘徊迴盪，中等酒體，鮮明且合諧。適飲期 : 2013-2018

Robert Parker -- 94

The 2007 Barbaresco Vigneto Brich Ronchi is a seductive Barbaresco endowed with superb purity and definition in its dark red fruit. Texturally brilliant and refined, the Brich Ronchi impresses for its fabulous concentration and equally remarkable finesse. There is a weightless elegance to the Bric Ronchi in this vintage that I find particularly appealing, and in a big way. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Score 94 – The Wine Advocate.

2007 Barbaresco Vigneto Brich Ronchi 是一瓶非常有魅力的酒，黑色的水果味中有一流的純淨度和清晰度，質地明亮精緻，酒體架構集中，卓越非凡的佳釀。這年份的 Brich Ronchi 表現的極度優雅，魅力無限令人感動萬分。適飲期 : 2012-2022

Good deep red-ruby. Sweet cherry, blackberry, violet, licorice and marzipan on the nose. Lush on entry, then sweet, ripe and energetic in the middle, with firm minerality and tannic grip extending the finish and accentuating its impression of perfume. I like this wine’s combination of insidious sweetness and ripe, integrated acidity. A serious and savory Barbaresco with no shortage of energy. Score 91-94 – International Wine Cellar.

Mario Marengo

“ Mario Marengo 是一個極好的人”，跟我介紹 Mario 的人是 Elio Altare (一家非常知名酒莊的老闆)，而且熱切的說 : Mario 的葡萄園，是他所見過最好的。在眼見為憑後，我發現 Elio 講的並不誇張，Mario 擁有非常老的葡萄樹(有些已經75年)，並且是位於 La Morra 產區的向南面的高坡上，名為 Brunate 的 Grand Cru 葡萄園。

Marengo 家族釀酒歷史已超過百年，但直到最近幾年才開創自有品牌，Mario 的兒子 Marco 現在接管了酒莊，因為 Mario 在 2001 年過世了。Marco 如同父親般對釀酒有犧牲奉獻的熱情，Marengo 酒莊是 La Morra 產區里最小的一家酒莊，但 Marco 並不因此而感到自卑或氣餒，因為幸運的是他擁有葡萄園，是位於許多知名酒莊之中的 “ Brunate “ Grand Cru 葡萄園。Marengo 的酒窖位於 La Morra 的主要大街上，生產少量的現代型新派的 Barolo，這些酒特別的均衡、層次豐富、口感強烈、單寧中有菌類的味道，是豐富而完美的 Barolo。

現在 Marengo 的酒已獲的酒評家一致的讚賞，得分也和一些知名酒莊平起平坐，可以預見，未來 Marengo 的酒將不可限量。

Robert Parker 評論 Marengo :

Marco Marengo is one of Piedmont’s emerging superstar producers. Although the Marengo family has made wine here since 1899, it’s as if someone turned on a switch a few years ago, when the wines – the Barolos in particular – went from excellent to outstanding, a level they have maintained ever since. Marengo’s 2007s are every bit as promising as these 2006s, if not a touch deeper.

Marco Marengo 是Piedmont 裡一家新興的超級明星酒莊，雖然Marengo 家族從1899年就在這裡釀酒，但自創品牌是近幾年的事而已，現在他們的酒已越做越好。

2006 M. Marengo Barolo Vecchia Vigna delle Brunate

Robert Parker -- 95

The 2006 Barolo Vecchia Vigna delle Brunate takes things to another level entirely with an intricate fabric of dark fruit, plums, prunes, roasted coffee beans, menthol and minerals that comes to life on a firm, sturdy frame. The wine reveals superb intensity, inner perfume and a long, exceptionally refined finish. The Brunate Vecchia Vigna delle Brunate is Marengo’s most extroverted Barolo and in 2006 it is nothing short of superb. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031. Score 95 – The Wine Advocate.

這瓶酒彷彿是一個由黑色水果所精雕細琢而成，並已達到了最高級的層次，其中有洋李、梅乾、咖啡豆、薄荷和礦物質等味道堆疊而成堅實的酒體結構。另外呈現出一流的口感、濃郁的香氣和令人驚嘆悠長的餘醞。這是一款特別奔放的 Barolo，尤其是 2006 年份已達到了完美的境界。適飲期 : 2016~2031

Stephen Tanzer: Good deep red. Deep, multidimensional nose offers raspberry, flinty minerality, brown spices and dried flowers, plus hints of cedar and underbrush. Dense, sweet and juicy; for all its intensity this conveys an impression of weightlessness, thanks to perfectly integrated acidity. Very long on the aftertaste, with broad, serious tannins calling for patience. Still a baby, and with a great future ahead of it. Score 94+ – International Wine Cellar.

Giacomo Grimaldi

就像許多酒莊都有相同的故事一樣，Ferruccio Grimaldi 於1996年繼承了家族 20 英畝在 Barolo 的葡萄園，他是 Barolo 區的後起之秀。酒莊創立於 1930 年，Grimaldi 的父親都把採收的葡萄賣給其他酒莊，由於品質優異，來採購的都是知名的酒莊，如 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli 和 Giuseppe Mascarello & Figlio 等，只留下一小部份家裡飲用，直到 Grimaldi 接管後才改變。

Renato Corino (本公司已代理進口)是 Ferruccio Grimaldi 的啟蒙恩師，學習釀造出華麗純淨的果味和酒體結構複雜的葡萄酒。Grimaldi 也常和同輩份的其他酒廠老闆聚會，其中有 Mario Marengo、brothers Renato and Giuliano Corino、and brothers Lorenzo and Carlo Revello (本公司代理前三家)，他們互相品嚐其他人的酒，討論葡萄的種植，釀酒的方法，和一起解決釀酒的技術問題，他們不斷精益求精，各自釀出了具個人的特色的酒款，也都得到各評論家的高分肯定。

Grimaldi 首次推出 1996 年份的 Barolo 葡萄酒 Le Coste，使用Nebbiolo 品種的葡萄是來自於著名的 Barolo 鎮內的一個小小的Grand Cru 葡萄園，Le Coste 葡萄園佔地只有 0.76 公頃，年產量還不到 400 箱。這款酒常被 Wine Spectator 評分 94-96 的高分評價，這讓 Giacomo Grimaldi 的酒成為 Barolo 愛好者所追求的酒莊之一。

Giacomo Grimaldi 有另一個台灣愛酒人士不知道的事是，他的太太就是 Barolo 裡天王級地位的 Paolo Scavino 酒莊現任莊主的女兒 Enrica Scavino，兩家酒廠的聯姻，這讓 Giacomo Grimaldi 的酒更讓人期待了。

Parker 的評論 :

“Ferruccio Grimaldi is another of Piedmont’s up and coming producers. Each year the wines show greater focus as Grimaldi continues to fine-tune his approach.

Ferruccio Grimaldi是Piedmont地區另一個明日之星，Grimaldi持續的精益求精，讓每年生產的酒表現越來越精確。

單一葡萄園酒款

Barolo Le Coste

Le Coste 是 Grimaldi 一個新的 Grand Cru 葡萄園，也是最重要的葡萄園，成為這個鄉鎮裡最獨具風格的園區，也是最佳的葡萄園。一年的產量僅僅只有 4,500 瓶葡萄酒。長久以來當地人都知道Le Coste 是其中的佼佼者，所釀製出來的酒根本還來不及裝瓶，就被當地的其他同業搶先給買去喝了。葡萄酒的色澤在年輕時就透露出不凡的氣勢，非常深沉的紅寶石色澤，中心還透露出紅石榴的顏色。此酒的香氣有獨特的花香，­而濃稠的果香味很輕易的可以聞得出來。葡萄酒的濃郁度隱隱透露出香甜、滑順以及豐富誘人的果味，口感更是令人神魂顛倒。酒質豐滿且深沉，入口後恰到好處的甜度如同天羅地網般地散佈在味蕾上，接著綻放出所隱藏的複雜感。

Barolo Sotto Castello di Novello

Barolo Sotto Castello di Novello 乃極品中的極品，入口後便能感覺到他出自於豪門的高貴氣質，輕易的擄獲人心。沒有誇張的肌肉，沒有猛烈的單寧，讓人覺得酒窖裡一定要珍藏的酒款，但又讓人忍不住馬上要開來享用。

2007 Giacomo Grimaldi Barolo Le Coste

Robert Parker - 91

The 2007 Barolo Le Coste is made in a decidedly powerful style. Dark fruit, smoke, licorice and tar are some of the aromas and flavors that emerge from this intense, up-front Barolo. The 50% new oak is also noticeably felt in the wine’s sheer volume, which makes the Le Coste richer and rounder than the Castello. Still, the wine’s balance and sense of harmony come together with time in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.

2007 年份的 Barolo Le Coste 是一瓶強而有力的酒款，黑色水果，煙燻、甘草和焦油的味道，緊密的結構中有美好的香氣和味道，是一瓶上好的 Barolo。使用 50% 的新橡木桶，但仍可輕易感受到純淨的果味，也比其他酒莊的酒更豐富更圓潤，還有，這瓶酒在杯子中所展現的均衡度，真的讓人心曠神怡。適飲期 : 2012~2022

Elio Grasso 艾利歐 格拉索 酒莊

Paolo Conterno

The Corino brothers are the rising stars of Piedmont: “Readers looking for up-front, sexy Barolos made with a Pomerol-like lushness should check out those from this La Morra producer" -Robert Parker, Jr.

Corino 兄弟是 Piedmont 的明日之星 : 消費者要找尋一款有活力又性感的 Barolos，且要像 Pomerol 一樣的優雅，就應該去試試 La Morra 的 Renato Corino。- Robert Parker, Jr.

Corino 酒莊的兩兄弟長大了，他們把繼承父親的酒莊 (位於 Arborina 產區) 一分為二，哥哥 Renato Corino 繼承的 17 公頃葡萄園離原酒莊有一公里遠，並在葡萄園旁蓋新的酒莊，弟弟 Giuliano Corino 繼承 20 公頃則延用父親的酒莊及名稱。

雖然兄弟兩人各自擁有自己的酒莊，但仍維持父親的美好特性及傑出的品質，兩兄弟總是合作無間，他們擁有四個 La Morra 地區最頂級的 Grand Cru 葡萄園 :Giachini、Pozzo、Rocche di Annunziata and Arborina.

單一葡萄園酒款 Barbera Vigna Pozzo 有著驚人的集中度、顏色和深度，複雜的味道和香氣。另一單一葡萄園酒款 Barolo Vigneto Rocche 有著神秘的優雅和纖細，是整個 Barolo 眾多品牌的 Grand Cru 等級中最無與倫比的，彷彿就是勃根地裡的 “Musigny” 。

(Barolo Vigneto Rocche is a wine whose magical elegance and finesse are unrivalled in the whole appellation and brand the cru as the “Musigny” of Barolo.)

Renato Corino 是 La Morra 產區裡最合群的酒莊之一，雖然他們深受知名的新興派的老鄰居 Elio Altare 所指導影響，製酒已有 20 年的經驗，身處老一輩的 Altare 和年輕酒莊之間，有著承先啟後的代表性。由於兄弟分家的緣故，Renato Corino 產量非常的少，頂級酒 Vigna Rocche 年產量不到 300 箱，台灣配給的數量更只有少少的數十瓶。近幾年更是屢獲 Robert Parker 高分的讚賞，絕對是一家令人神往的 Barolo 酒莊。

Domenico Clerico

Robert Parker 說 Clerico 是“Piedmont 皮埃蒙特地區最有才華的釀酒師”，他的酒，異常的豐富，驚人的芳香和強烈的個人特色，能讓享樂主義者和理性主義者都能得到滿足。Barolo 地區的 Domenico Clerico 酒莊出產頂級的 Barolo、Barbera 和 Dolcetto。

莊主 Domenico Clerico 在小時候，他的父親就小量的種過葡萄來釀酒，但是表現並不好而放棄，1981年 Domenico Clerico 在 Ginestra 購買了 3.3 公頃土地，酒莊由此正式成立。Clerico 是一個非常小的酒莊，位於 Piedmont 的 Monforte 地區的四個 Grand Cru 名園 : 0.4 公頃在 Bussia , 4.5 公頃在 Ginestra , 1.8 公頃在 Pajana 和 1.5 公頃在 Moscon。

Domenico Clerico 是現代 Barolo 釀酒改良新興運動的倡導人之一，他的酒圓潤且集中，融合著更多的果香，鮮明紅寶石酒色有桑葚的口感，讓人聯想到勃根地的 Grand Echezeaux，且讓人不知道這些酒是 Nebbiolo 葡萄所釀製。

他是第一個在BAROLO引進單一葡萄園概念，將不同葡萄園的酒分開裝瓶的人。讓土地的特性融入到葡萄中，從而使生產出來的酒具有獨特的性質。何時採收葡萄也是很重要的因素，因此都比一般其他的酒莊提早採收，因為他相信丹寧的成熟比葡萄甜度的成熟更重要。甜度高只是釀出酒精味很重的酒，高品質的丹寧才能確保一個高水準的酒，特別強調酸度，因為有酸度才會有酒的骨架。

Clerico 近幾年來開始實施 "green" farming methods 不使用任何殺蟲劑或化學肥料，只偶爾施用天然有機肥料。

想要一睹 Clerico 的釀酒功力，可以嘗試 Barbera d’Alba 和 Dolcetto d’Alba，充分地表達了葡萄的特性，而價格並非高不可攀。如今 Clerico 的酒每年都獲得許多酒評家一致的好評，可說是 Barolo 地區最重要的酒廠，並是許多收藏家必定收藏的酒款。

“One of the most gifted winemakers in Piedmont...these are wines of extraordinary richness, amazing aromatics, and sensual personalities that satiate both the hedonistic and the intellectual senses." -Robert Parker, Jr.

Antonio Galloni 曾說﹕I find a spirituality and character in Clerico's wines that puts them in a class with few peers。
