Domenico Clerico Capisme-E Langhe Nebbiolo 2024
£29.25
The wine
Light ruby red, an explosion of red fruit. Fresh strawberry and redcurrant dominate, complemented by sweet candied notes and a hint of orange zest, with soft tannins.
Langhe Nebbiolo is the same grape as Barolo grown outside the Barolo boundary or declassified from it, aged briefly and released young. It is the sensible way to taste what a producer does with Nebbiolo without waiting a decade or paying Barolo money. Clerico work from Monforte d Alba, where they have held vineyards since 1977.
The producer
Domenico Clerico
View all Domenico Clerico winesIn 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.
