EXCELLENT · CRITICS' CONSENSUS

Piemonte Nebbiolo producer with prestige-rated Lessona and regional blends.

Clerico Massimo produces Nebbiolo-based wines from Piemonte in Northern Italy, a region celebrated for its structured, age-worthy reds. The winery's flagship Lessona Riserva and Lessona showcase the grape's signature tannins and mineral precision, earning recognition from Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast. The Ca' du Leria Coste della Sesia Rosso blends Nebbiolo with Croatina and Vespolina, regional varieties that add complexity and textural depth. These wines reflect the demanding terroir of their origin, where cool alpine conditions and limestone-rich soils shape the character of each vintage.
