The name of the wine— which means “crazy airplane” in Piedmontese dialect—is the fun nickname used by Domenico Clerico, owner of the famous winery, to refer to his mischievous son. Servaj Aeroplan is a wine full of nuances, rich and well balanced. It is sensual and appealing with aromas of berries, flowers, and spices, and in the mouth, it is tasty, with hints of red fruits, a touch of vanilla from the barrel, and a floral feel makes this an irresistible wine.
