"Deceptively medium in body, Clerico's 2010 Lessona Riserva packs a real punch. Firm tannins and bright acids give the wine much of its energy. Sweet dried cherry, rose petal, mint, alpine herbs, white pepper and chalk all open up nicely in the glass in this super-expressive, translucent Nebbiolo. The 2010 delivers superb flavor intensity with no excess weight and fabulous overall balance."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
