From the historic, iron-rich soils of the Lessona appellation in Piedmont, Tenute Sella represents one of the region’s oldest and most respected producers, with a winemaking legacy dating back to the 17th century. The “San Sebastiano Allo Zoppo” is their premier cru, a profound expression of the Nebbiolo grape (locally known as Spanna) from a single, prized vineyard site. The 2010 vintage, from an exceptional year, showcases the remarkable aging potential and ethereal elegance that this tiny appellation can produce.
This wine presents a luminous garnet-brick hue, a testament to its maturity. The nose is a complex and captivating symphony of dried rose, sour cherry, and wild raspberry, evolving into deeper notes of truffle, tar, and forest floor. On the palate, it is impeccably balanced, with a firm yet silky structure. The vibrant red fruit flavors are seamlessly woven with a signature minerality and refined tannins, leading to a long, haunting, and perfectly integrated finish.
This mature Nebbiolo finds a perfect partner at the cheese board. Its complexity is beautifully highlighted by a creamy, nutty Fontina, contrasted by a salty, crystalline Parmigiano-Reggiano, and complemented by the earthy notes of a well-aged Taleggio. It is a sublime pairing that allows the wine’s elegant evolution to take center stage.
