Apr 14th, 2020Alpine Nebbiolo. Dark cherry and an usually but pleasant piney component. Mellow tannins and medium finish. An unusual but fascinating wine. High geek factor and good PVR. We liked it!

Jan 27th, 2021A 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.
