Tanzo Lessona DOC
-
Description :
This wine is named for Pietro Cassina's father, Costanzo "Tanzo” Cassina, and is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. After harvest, the grapes are carefully de-stemmed and crushed and flow via gravity into steel tanks where spontaneous fermentation begins and maceration on the skins takes place for 7-10 days at a controlled temperature of 28 ° C (82.4° Fahrenheit). The wine is racked into 15L oval casks (Austrian-Swiss oak) where it rests for a minimum of 26 months. The wine is then bottled and stored in the estate's cellars for further refinement. This wine has great cellaring potential of 15-20 years.

A deep ruby red in color with accents on the nose of roses, violets, red fruits and spices. Dry on the palate with structuring tannins and notes of cherries, forest fruits and crushed spices.
