The wine

Aeroplanservaj means wild aeroplane in Piedmontese dialect, and the fruit comes from Serralunga d Alba.

Serralunga gives the most structured and slowest-maturing Barolo of the eleven communes, on soils poorer and more calcareous than its neighbours. Nebbiolo grown here needs a decade in bottle before it starts to open and rewards a good deal longer. Barolo is aged a minimum of 38 months before release, 18 of them in wood, and the 2020 vintage was warm and generous by recent standards.

The producer

Domenico Clerico

View all Domenico Clerico wines

In Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of Barolo, Domenico Clerico was one of the legendary modernists who transformed the region. The estate he built crafts Nebbiolo of both power and polish, from some of the Langhe greatest crus. His legacy is one of ambition and quality.

The domaine farms with meticulous care and vinifies with a blend of tradition and precision. Careful oak ageing and patient handling give Barolo of real concentration, perfume, and refinement. The style is deep, structured, and built to age for decades.

The range spans approachable Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera through to a suite of single-cru Barolos, each tracing the character of its vineyard. Together they map Monforte and Serralunga with authority.

To pour a Clerico wine is to taste Barolo at its most compelling. Powerful, perfumed, and profoundly ageworthy, these are Nebbiolos for the serious cellar.
