Lessona Nebbiolo 2016

100% Spanna. My first example from this producers. Many wines from Alto Piemonte are blends as allowed but not this. Sour cherry mint tobacco tar dried herbs. Traditionally made with no heavy oak. Could age longer to see morev tertiary aspects come up. — 5 months ago

Rosa del Rosa Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo Rosé 2023

Good rose, mostly savory and herbal, some salty. Maybe a little fruit, but feels mostly savory to me, nose maybe with some violet. — 2 months ago

9.6

Incredible aromatics of fresh and dried and roses and intense cherry flower. Elegant and enveloping. Glorious aromas. Wow. 9.6 nose. Road tar, oolong tea and smoke start to develop. Confectionary cherry flower. Mid to late season cherry as well. Stunning. Palate is dense yet lithe with ripe and juicy tannins and sweet mid season cherry fruit accented with cherry flower pollen. Wow. Such a well made wine and extraordinary finish. So complex, ethereal and concentrated. Pure and elegant. Just a stunner. My heart lies with Alto Piemonte and Valtelljna for Nebbiolo always. Wow the inner mouth aromas. So juicy and just full of energy. Unreal freshness makes this akin to popping so many perfect tiny cherries in one’s mouth. What a wine. Young but not inaccessible and so promising. Now with air there is an opulence to the mid palate. Wow what length. Now a 9.6 from 9.5. — 5 months ago

@Lyle Fass I too, thought this was a delicious expression of Lessona and wished I had grabbed more than one bottle.
