The 2017 Langhe Nebbiolo Capisme-e is named after the local Piedmont word that means "Do you understand me?". The wine was conceived after a surgery that left Domenico Clerico with difficulties speaking and articulating words; his medical surgery was in 2008, and the first vintage of this wine was 2009. This entry-level Nebbiolo offers rich density and an accessible style that makes the wine immediately attractive and delicious. There is plenty of dark fruit but no over-ripeness, even in this hot vintage. This is not a wine of imposing structure, and in fact, it offers a soft and fruit-filled finish.
