Massimo Clerico Lessona 2021 is a restrained, elegant Nebbiolo with a bright ruby-garnet color and a finely detailed nose of red berries, rose, dried citrus peel, and subtle spice.
The palate is dry and persistent, with lively acidity, firm but polished tannins, and a distinctly savory, mineral edge that gives it lift and focus. It feels more about precision and tension than power, in the spirit of classic Alto Piemonte. For retailers, it will appeal to drinkers who enjoy the finesse of a cooler-climate Nebbiolo, with a profile that can recall a lighter Barolo or a more delicate Barbaresco.
Serve with mushroom risotto, braised meats, or aged cheeses.
