There are no extra bells or whistles on this genuine and honest wine to enjoy with a simple focaccia and speck." Robert Parker

Fruit comes from the youngest plants in the Starderi vineyard (in Barbaresco)." Robert Parker

A perfect introduction to the impressive craft of a just 27-year-old winemaker who has already left a good deal behind on her way to the top. Here Nebbiolo comes into the glass in purezza, the ageing partly in 500 Liters tonneaux and stainless steel interprets it - according to Giulia Negri's vision - unadulterated and without distractions.

Bright ruby red, in the bouquet small red berries, humid forest soil and a subtle note of violet. On the palate of impressive elegance and smoothness, the Nebbiolo always remains firm and cool. In the final, the dark fruit beguiles with a freshness and juiciness that never seems opulent, but carries the suspense right into the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

For us, one of the best Nebbiolo of the Langhe. With some vintners, the entry Barolo would be made from this excellent basic material. Multilayered, dark bouquet of wild berries, menthol, spices and rosehip. On the palate then punchy, present, with a taut draw and pronounced primary fruit. The tannin is well woven and very smooth. Impeccable! SUPERIORE.DE

"The Domenico Clerico 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo Capismee is named after the local slang for "do you understand me." That's a fun twist because ultimately the wine is articulate and clear in its message, thanks to its variety-pure aromas of dark fruit, crushed rose, tar, smoke and licorice. Of course, this release offers all that typicity with a flair for the informal and the accessible. That's all we need to understand." Robert Parker
