DESCRIPTION: Claré JC is a unique wine, our take on the forgotten days of Nebbiolo, when it was enjoyed in its lighter and fresher garment. The winemaking protocol follows the 1606 writings of G.B. Croce, jeweler of the House of Savoia: the wine is bottled soon after the fermentation so as to retain a gentle off-dry finish and a lovely energy.
VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo.
VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Fruit from our young Nebbiolo vineyards.
A pretty red, with a hint of camphor gracing its core flavors of cherry, raspberry, blackberry and violet. There’s a mineral streak, and light tannins leave their grip on the lingering aftertaste. Drink now through 2033. 2,400 cases made, 200 cases import...
