Harvest 2019: nebbiolo

We collected the last of the Barbera in the morning, and immediately following, in the afternoon, we picked the Nebbiolo Capisme-e.

As the Nebbiolo ripened, we went to pick. In this way, we followed vineyard after vineyard (in order: Pajana, Bussia, Mosconi, Ciabot Mentin) uninterrupted until we finished on Sunday, October 20, crushing the grapes coming from Serralunga.

It was an incredible week: sunny and hot during the day, cold and humid at night. Nebbiolo was saying thanks and the producers had big smiles on their faces.

This year was hard: a rainy and difficult spring, a mild summer, but an exceptional autumn! But Domenico has known for a long time, and he remembers that, as always, to really evaluate a season in the vineyard, you need to wait for the grapes to be fermenting in the winery…

Historia

"Dear Dad, It is with great honor that I accept to continue the company that you have created with a lifetime of hard work: but please accept my desire with the utmost respect for everything that you've done and handed down, to continue only making wine. I want to prove to everyone, with your support and the help of Giuliana, that I can make great wines that people will appreciate, because in this land where we live, there is something precious that we still do not understand"...

For some time, my father was growing grapes that he bestowed to the wine cooperative, and a modest amount of fruit that he sold to the markets of the area. It was a typical, small farm in Piedmont, of about 4-5 hectares of land. In 1976, he asked me if I wanted to take over the reins of the company. I agreed, along with my wife Giuliana, to begin this great adventure.

"The older generation: Why do you think that the older generation was not planting vines of Nebbiolo below 150 meters above sea level and not above 450 meters? Why was the south-east aspect favoured over the other aspects? It is because the experience gained over generations taught us that Nebbiolo performs best at that altitude, and that that aspect allows the optimum synergy between the vines and other crops planted between the rows such as corn and broad beans, which are fundamental to our livelihood! ".. . 

 

My goal as wine producer should only be to highlight the potential of our land. Here, each vineyard has its own particular character that I want to express at its best in my wine.

Viinivalmistus

Since the beginning I have prioritised working amongst the vines, convinced that to get good wines you must care for the vineyard with love and dedication, establishing an deep connection with the land and a continuous exchange of learning and understanding the needs of the vine in every moment throughout the year.

And so, following my adventure to choose to start producing great wines, I was faced with the need to buy new vineyards, well positioned among my favourite crus. In 1977 I purchased a small plot in the heart of "Bussia", which allowed me to produce my first Barolo "Bussia Briccotto". A few years later, I was able to obtain an amazing vineyard in the "Ginestra" cru from which I started to produce my Barolo "Ciabot Mentin" and shortly after, another vineyard in this same beautiful cru, from where I get the Barolo for "Pajana." In 1995 I selected a piece of land in another cru called "Mosconi" and so began the life of my Barolo "Percristina."

With a lot of hard work and determination, we were able to build a company that today consists of approximately 21 hectares and a total production of 110,000 bottles per year. Not satisfied, during the period between 2005 and 2006, I searched long and hard for a new goal that would give me the right stimulus to put me, once again, challenge myself further. And so my Barolo was created from Serralunga D’Alba, a commune very close to Monforte d'Alba, but in some ways very different. It takes its form as Aeroplanservaj.

– Domenico Clerico (1950-2017)

Sisäpiiritietoa

THE LEGEND OF AEROPLANSERVAJ (WILD AIRPLANE)

“There are those who say they often hear the sound of a distant aeroplane without actually seeing the shape of any object in flight.
Others say that it is only the continuous, low hum of the tractors that move backwards and forwards across the Langhe hills. Someone declares that it is only the grumbling of an illtempered wine master, never ready for easy compromises. Perhaps nobody will ever know the truth.
However, I strongly believe that a free spirit really lingers among the vineyards, capable of circling over human trivalties.
A free spirit who knows fatigue and who loves his land even when his hands become chapped and his back bends
in pain. There is a legend that tells of a child who has never grown up, who has always wanted to fly without rules, wild in soul and heart“.
