The 2010 Langhe Nebbiolo Capisme is huge in this vintage. Crushed berries, licorice and deep red fruit are some of the notes that emerge from this textured Nebbiolo. In the 2010 the Capsime impresses for its sheer personality and class. It is a dazzling effort from Domenico Clerico and his team. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
Readers who want to enjoy a bottle from Domenico Clerico without breaking the bank will delight in these three new releases. While perhaps somewhat counterintuitive, one of the things I value most in a grower is the quality of the entry-level offerings. These wines will please even the most demanding of palates.
