Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2016 Lessona Riserva is a pretty wine, but one that is headed into maturity. Sweet dried red cherry fruit, iron, mint, white pepper, dried flowers and pipe tobacco give the 2016 lovely aromatic presence. I just wish this had a little more to offer in the mid-palate." -Antonio Galloni

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

To qualify as Lessona Riserva, the wine must be aged a total of 46 months before commercial release with a minimum of 30 months of the aging process occurring in barrel. This, the most grand wine of the estate, is a selection of Nebbiolo from Clerico’s finest vineyard sites, including the oldest vines of the estate (planted in 1970) in the “Vigna Gaja”. Although Lessona can be produced with a minimum of 85% Nebbiolo, Clerico’s Lessona is produced exclusively from Nebbiolo. The elegance and refinement of Clerico’s Lessona is manifest, providing another unique rendition of the complexity of the Nebbiolo grape.
