Reviewed January 2018Structured, vibrant and boasting extreme elegance, this radiant Nebbiolo opens with enticing scents of iris, violet and crushed aromatic herb. The chiseled palate has wonderful intensity and precision, delivering red cherry, raspberry compote, star anise and Lessona's classic salty finish. It's still young and nervous but impeccably balanced, with taut, refined tannins and firm acidity. Give it time to unwind and fully develop.

Wine Advocate
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.

A balanced, harmonious vintage that is just hitting its stride. The 2012 shows a beautiful integration of savory, secondary notes (like tobacco and forest floor) with a core of persistent red fruit. It’s in a perfect drinking window, showcasing the complexity that age brings to this terroir.
