Description

Massimo Clerico Costa della Sesia Rosso 'Ca' du Leria' 2021This wine is produced from the Vigna Leria, a vineyard site that sits immediately adjacent to the family home. It is a blend of Nebbiolo (50%), Croatina (30%) and Vespolina (20%). Sitting on an ancient seabed, the soils are very poor and porous which permit the vines to extend deeply into the soil. The result is a wine of intense minerality with a fresh, lively presence on the palate. The color is vivid but not dense, having a grey garnet hue. Aged
