LANGHE NEBBIOLO CLARÉ J.C.

D.O.C.

Description

Produced with grapes from the younger vines of Nebbiolo, JC Claré reminds us of the true and forgotten history era of the piedmontese Nebbiolo, when from 16th century until the early 1950’s, it still was vinified and enjoyed in its lightest and fresh garment

Variety

100% Nebbiolo

Vineyards and terroir

A range of vineyards starting in Barolo, opening up to Novello and reaching out to Bricco Bertone in Sinio

Harvest and winemaking

The harvest of Nebbiolo for the Claré JC 2015 started on September 25th. The manual selection, as well as transportation in small crates, helped to keep the fruits intact and bring beautiful clusters to the cellar. Less than a week of fermentation and a small part of whole cluster fermentation

Aging

Steel tanks and bottling in the spring following the harvest, help to preserve the unique freshness of this wine

Tasting notes

Light ruby color, slightly sparkling and very fresh, eye-catching. Spices and red fruits and a vibrant minerality, the JC is to be consumed fresh and a versatile wine: to be drunk in summer time and an ideal companion for cold cuts and lightly fried foods. An unprecedented expression of Nebbiolo with which one will be able to surprise even the most skeptical friends!
