Domenico Clerico Langhe Nebbiolo Capisme-e 2022 750ml

This is a fun and informal wine with pretty primary fruit that recalls forest berry and cassis. The Domenico Clerico 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo Capisme-e (with 18,000 bottles released) is all about easy-drinking brightness and freshness. The aim here is transparency and energy. Nebbiolo sees a brief skin maceration and then goes into stainless steel and partly in amphorae only.

Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy’s finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means ‘fog’ in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.
