La Prevostura, Lessona, Piedmont, Italy, 2020

Overview of the Wine
Our romantic dream of bringing the Prevostura back to its former glory, which began in 2001, gives today the fruits of a great passion.
La Prevostura vineyards, 5 hectares of soils rich in ancient marine sands, planted with the traditional grape varieties of the region - Nebbiolo, Vespolina and Croatina - give life to Lessona, Bramaterra, Coste della Sesia rosso Muntacc, Piemonte rosso Garsun, Piemonte rosato Corinna and vino rosso Giuinot.

Lessona is perhaps the most elegant expression of Northern Piedmont.
La Prevostura, hill among the best exposed of our terroir, since centuries gives noble Nebbiolo grapes. Here, in the estate once belonging to the Marquis La Marmora, the family Quario in the early 1900s brought to fame their Lessona wine.
Whereas the second half of the twentieth century saw the decline of viticulture in the Biella province, the new millennium has marked its rebirth.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Medium ruby red in color with lovely notes of dried cranberries, licorice and rose petals. A perfectly elegant and accessible wine from the Alto Piemonte area. The Lessona is easy to drink young but will age for many years if you prefer to cellar.

95 Points - Vinous
The 2020 Lessona is a classy, polished wine. Macerated cherry, mint, rose petal, pomegranate and tangerine peel lift from the glass. The 2022 is wonderfully fresh and translucent, with relatively soft contours that make it an absolute joy to taste today. I especially admire the wine's vibrancy.
