Lessona Piedmont Nebbiolo Blend
Piedmont, Italy
Dark, rich, tar-y aromatics with good texture and tannin. Energetic almost to the point of being tart. I am thinking this bottle needs hours to fully relax.

A toast to the “Unification of Italy.” A light garnet red tapering to burnt orange on the edges. Aromas of black cherry and red currants. Hints of orange with a spicy pepper. The palate is dry and bright with a complex mix of flavor. The Sella family’s history in Lessona region began in 1671. This is one of the smallest village appellations in all of Italy with a mere 23 hectares of land under vine. The success of this region is the Pliocene sandy, marine-influenced soils. These deposits of marine sands and fossil shells provide the mineral cocktail which enhances Nebbiolo with a bright energy.
