AEROPLAN SERVAJ - Domenico Clerico

THE LEGEND OF
AEROPLAN
SERVAJ
(WILD AEROPLANE)
The name of the wine had
to be the mirror of a past that
is reflected in the present,
and I thought there was nothing
more meaningful than the
nickname my father gave me:
the translation in Piedmont
dialect of Wild Aeroplane.
The name perfectly embodied
what my father saw in me:
a child, a boy, and then a man
who flies over the surrounding
hills in his imagination and lands,
sometimes, for a few moments
to be part of the real world.
Naturally, this new Barolo,
originating in the rented
vineyard in Serralunga,
also had to be expressed
by a completely different
concept on the bottle.
As a result, six different
labels representing the
Wild Aeroplane were
chosen and are presented
all together in the same
wooden case, giving
a complete picture
of the “fantasy” that goes
into the wine as soon
as the lid is lifted!
