Tasting notes
The 2012 Lessona is a wine that is heavily shaped by the sandy soils that characterize the appellation. This vintage is a little shy and demure with a slightly undertone or softly spoken manner. The wine is extremely elegant and polished with light touches of wild berry followed by ash, cola and finely etched mineral nuances. There is a touch of rusty metal or aromas of dried blood. The mouthfeel is very long and finely textured.

100% Nebbiolo. Deep garnet with brick rim. This has all the gorgeous scents of Nebbiolo. There's undergrowth and sweet cherry, and a hint of roses. The sample is cool – perfect temperature. Super-fine but present tannins. Opens up to even more fragrance. Great finesse. (JH)
