WINE DESCRIPTION

Colombera & Garella Pizzaguerra Lessona is a premium wine produced by Colombera & Garella, a renowned winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Lessona appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with a mix of clay and limestone soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including extended maceration and aging in large oak barrels, resulting in a wine with a complex bouquet of red fruits, spices, and earthy notes. The wine is elegant and refined, with a balanced acidity and silky tannins, making it a perfect pairing for rich dishes and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Colombera & Garella Pizzaguerra Lessona is a wonderfully complex and full-bodied red wine with aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and blackberries on the nose.Hints of spice and earthiness can also be found in the bouquet. On the palate, this wine is balanced and rich with flavors of dark fruit and spice that mingle with subtle notes of leather, earth and tobacco. Firm tannins and a lengthy, velvety finish make this an enjoyable wine that will improve with age.
