The Domenico Clerico 2021 Barolo Aeroplan Servaj is a powerful expression of Nebbiolo with thick layers of intensity, dark fruit and spice and impressive depth. It is fermented for the most part (90%) in botte grande, with 10% in barrique. Blending is done at the end. Fruit comes from the Teodoro MGA in Serralunga d'Alba with eastern exposures at 280 to 350 meters in elevation. This full-bodied Barolo will uphold many good years of cellar aging thanks to the integrity of its primary fruit, the firm tannins and balanced acidity. Production is 6,000 bottles and 100 magnums.

The 2021 Barolo Aeroplanservaj displays a bit more depth of pigment in its jeweled ruby hue and is expressive and seductive on the nose, with more polished oak spice aromatics along with notes of kirsch, pressed flowers, and Asian spices that weave through the wine with a skilled and well-managed touch. It’s long and layered on the palate, with an expanding, full-bodied richness without feeling heavy, and it has ripe tannins and a long finish. It will benefit from cellaring. Drink 2027-2047.
