Clerico’s 2011 Langhe Nebbiolo Capisme-e is juicy and exuberant in this vintage, even if it lacks some of the excitement of previous years. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries and a hint of cinnamon linger on the soft, perfumed finish. This soft, inviting Nebbiolo is delicious. Unfortunately, the world has caught on, and Capisme-e is no longer the steal it once was. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
