Langhe Red Explorer Tasting Trio Shipping Included

$99.99 $111.96
Only 149 available

Tucked in the hills of Northern Italy is a land of rolling hills covered in vineyards known as the Langhe. While famous for the Italian King of red wines, Barolo, there are several other varieties that hail from the area that are just as delicious. Wines made with grapes from Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo are prized from the Langhe, and native born producer Aldo Clerico has them all in his blood. In this set, try these less famous jewels of Piedmont and the Langhe: a dolcetto from Dogliani, a Barbera d’Alba, and a Langhe Nebbiolo… all from the cream of the crop vineyards in Piedmont.

Shipping in the Continental US is also included for this set, and extends to any other products you add to your order… so this is an excellent time to add on a Barolo or two from the Langhe.

These wines were featured in a VeroTalk with winemaker Aldo Clerico and Vero Chef Jacqueline Mitchell live from Italy in an authentic Italian Trattoria! Watch this virtual food and wine pairing event HERE.

Wines Included in This Set

Aldo Clerico | Dogliani Dolcetto | Single Vineyard

Dogliani is known as the area which produces the best dolcettos in the world. Originally called Dolcetto di Dogliani, local winemakers lobbied to change the denomination to simply ‘Dogliani’ to avoid the misconception that this wine was ‘little sweet’, as suggested by the translation of ‘dolcetto’ in Italian. They wanted this special dry red wine to be able to make its own name, and let its importance stand for itself.

This expressive structured yet easy-to-drink red wine has purple color, and floral bouquet with red plum notes. On the palate, this dolcetto opens pleasantly with notable tannins that are, however, not overpowering. It finishes with light almond notes. Coming from a single vineyard near Monchiero, this Dogliani is also make with native yeast fermentation.

It can be enjoyed just after bottling, yet it can better itself after a bit of aging in bottle.

Type of Wine: Red still
Grape: Dolcetto
Appellation: Dogliani DOCG
Alcohol % by Vol: 13%
Vintage: 2023
Suggested Pairing: Charcuterie board of Italian cured meats and cheeses

Aldo Clerico | Barbera d'Alba Red Wine | Single Vineyard

A ‘really good, soft and fleshy’ Barbera from Alba, one of the best areas for Barbera. Nice acidity and fruitiness with some spice, thanks to 14-16 month aging in new and used oak. In reality, this Barbera d Alba follows all the guidelines to be considered a Barbera d’Alba Superiore.

A very balanced and elegant wine on the nose, and a good body and structure on the palate with a pleasant and vibrant acidity. A rounded wine with fresh yet fruity notes that finish with a creamy texture thanks to the oak barrel aging.

Type of Wine: Red still
Grape: Barbera
Appellation: Barbera d’Alba DOC
Alcohol % by Vol: 14.5%
Vintage: 2019 | 2020 | 2022

Aldo Clerico | Langhe Nebbiolo

This Langhe Nebbiolo is known as a ‘Baby Barolo’, since it comes from Barolo vines, and is a great introduction to the Langhe wines, where some of the best reds in the world come from. As well, the native yeast fermentation used to make this nebbiolo lets you taste the natural terroir of the Langhe.

It is a wine with great structure and personality, an excellent expression of the nebbiolo vine. With a delicate floral bouquet of rose and violets, there is also a finish of licorice. Tasting it really brings out its elegance with pleasant yet decisive tannins that signal great potential for good aging.

Type of Wine: Red still
Grape: Nebbiolo
Appellation: Langhe Nebbiolo DOC
