Gorgeous. Love the weight, generosity, and nerve this Northern appellation showed in the bottling. Succulent, nice roundness, great harmony, perfumed and firing on all cylinders. Worn leather, ripe to dried cherry, bitter roots, dried flowers, crushed rock, tar, juniper. Has the classic cut and firmness of Alto Piedmont with just a little extra “cush” and generosity. Love these wines just wish I could have them more often.

Fabulous nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte. If this came from one of the “B” appellations down south, it would cost 4-5 times as much. The high altitude of Lessona really brings an extra dimension to the grape. Downside is only 40 hectares to the entire DOC, so if you can find one, get it!
