Lessona is a small area devoted to a big wine; Nebbiolo. Full bodied, commandingly well structured and savoury in taste, this is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina 15% made from grapes grown in Upper Piedmont in the historic hills of Lessona township. Wine has been made here since 1671 and the sandy soils are considered favourite for producing top quality Nebbiolo, such as this great wine.
The vines are old, the wine is young and the aging potential is long; 30 years and then some.
