Domenico Clerico Dolcetto Langhe Visadi

“Barolo Boys: The Story of a Revolution” is an interesting documentary that explains the fascinating story of how a group of friends revolutionised the Langhe, in Piedmont (Italy) and how Barolo wine became a worldwide phenomenon in the 1980s. One of the members, Domenico Clerico, began his winemaking career in 1978 when he inherited 3 hectares of vineyards and a small estate from his father, with no professional ambitions, in Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. In just a few years he gave life to one of the most virtuous realities of the area by understanding the secrets of the “old” Langhe and acquired the best crus of the area. These wines have been awarded and admired in many countries around the world, wines that interpret the Nebbiolo vine in the best possible way, as well as other varieties that bring honour to the area like Barbera and Dolcetto.

One of these exemplary wines is Domenico Clerico Dolcetto Langhe Visadi. A red wine made from 100% Dolcetto grapes from vines ranging from 10 to 60 years old. They are cultivated using respectful agriculture with a mix of modern techniques, but without discarding the traditional Langhe practices. In the winery the grapes ferment with maceration on the skins for 5-7 days and then the wine is left to age in steel tanks for about 10 months.

Fruity, fresh and enveloping, Domenico Clerico Dolcetto Langhe Visadi is Domenico’s classic dolcetto. The expression of the care and passion that this visionary winegrower had for the DOC Langhe.
