Aldo Clerico Barolo DOCG

This is one of the best Barolo wines from the Langhe in Piedmont Italy as well as a great value from one of the storied families of Barolo wineries. This Barolo red wine is the maximum expression of the nebbiolo grape from Aldo Clerico. With vineyards right next to those of Domenico Clerico Barolo vineyards, this Barolo is a good substitute for Burgundy wine.

This garnet colored artisan Barolo has red fruit, rose and spicy leather and tea leaf aromas with elegant structure, long finish leaving a silky mouthfeel. On the nose it is very intense while floral notes mix with typical vineyard scents of violets and red berries. On the palate, the violets blend with licorice flavors and noticeable tannins. A creamy texture from the oak barrels creates a pleasant mix of fresh yet complex flavors.

Silvia Martini Gianduja Hazelnut and Cacao Cream

Lusciously sweet, it is not overpoweringly so. Creamy, it is a wonderful and classic blend of hazelnut and chocolate flavors. Pronounced jahn-due-ya, this cream that is a blend of hazelnuts, cacao powder, and sugar, was originally born in the Piedmont capital of Turin before eventually being commercialized by Ferrero as “Nutella”. In fact, that is why we consider this a great alternative for those that find Nutella too sweet or processed. Made in the shop of woman artisan farmer Silvia Martini.
