Domenico Clerico "Capisme-e" Nebbiolo Langhe, Piedmont 750ML

Domenico Clerico "Capisme-e" is a Langhe Nebbiolo D.O.C. from Monforte d'Alba in Piedmont, Italy. The name "Capisme-e" means "understand me" in the Piedmontese dialect, reflecting the wine's philosophy as an expressive, approachable entry point into the world of Nebbiolo. First produced in 2009, this wine showcases the variety in its purest form, with a personality typical of the Monforte d'Alba terroir.

Winemaking emphasizes gentle skin maceration with careful extraction to preserve fruity aromas, followed by aging in stainless steel tanks and amphora. This technique yields a wine that is bright, fresh, and fruit-forward rather than heavily structured. The result is a brilliant ruby wine with aromas of cherry, raspberry, cranberry, wild herbs, and rose petal, with a lithe palate of red berry fruit framed by supple tannins and vivid acidity.

The 2022 vintage earned strong critical acclaim: 93 points from Kerin O'Keefe, 92 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Falstaff, 90 from Wine Spectator and Jeb Dunnuck. Domenico Clerico is a storied Barolo producer who began his winemaking journey in 1976 and was a founding member of the influential "Barolo Boys" movement that modernized winemaking in Piedmont. Sold in a case of 12 x 750mL bottles.
