Massimo Clerico's Lessona is a 100% Nebbiolo full of depth and elegance. The attack is focused on dried flowers, forest floor and wild strawberry aroma and flavour. It flows over the palate with silky tannins, zesty high acidity, sucrosity and a tight finish, clean and savoury. The tension and filigreed complexity are the main qualities of this fine Riserva.
The 2015 Lessona Riserva is powerful and incisive right out of the gate. Bright acids and penetrating tannins support a core of dried red fruit, iron, dried herbs, incense and licorice. There's good energy and drive, but I find the flavors just a bit dried out. This rustic, old-school Lessona packs plenty of punch.
