A vivid and energetic expression of Lessona. The nose opens with lifted red fruits—wild strawberry, redcurrant, and raspberry—layered with delicate notes of black tea, blood orange peel, iron, and a gentle earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine is finely textured and graceful, with a rounded, silky mouthfeel balanced by vibrant acidity. Subtle earthy undertones and a savoury nuance carry through to a long, refined finish.

A Nebbiolo‑based blend complemented by a touch of Vespolina, all harvested by hand. After destemming and gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in temperature‑controlled stainless steel tanks with a mix of pump‑overs and rack‑and‑return to enhance extraction while preserving finesse. The wine matures for one year in barriques before being transferred to large 5,000L French oak vessels for a further two years. It is then refined for an additional year in bottle prior to release, allowing its complexity and elegance to fully emerge. Tenute Sella is located at the foot of the Alps of Biella, in Northern Piedmont. Purchased in 1671 by Comino Sella, for 350 years the family-owned property has been cultivated by generations of the Sella family. Here in Alto-Piemonte, they craft beautiful, ethereal expressions of Nebbiolo-based wines, which are exceptionally age-worthy.
