Nebbiolo-driven wines from Piemonte's Lessona, rated by Decanter and Wine Enthusiast.

Villa Guelpa produces Nebbiolo-based wines from Lessona, a historic appellation in Piemonte's northern reaches. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship reds: Boca, a pure Nebbiolo expression; Lessona Rosso, also Nebbiolo; and Sizzano Rosso, a Nebbiolo and Vespolina blend. These wines reflect the region's continental climate and mineral-rich soils, which impart structure and aging potential to the local varietals. Decanter and Wine Enthusiast have rated Villa Guelpa's releases, with the Boca achieving particular recognition among prestige critics. The winery operates within one of Piemonte's lesser-known but distinguished zones, where Nebbiolo thrives in conditions that demand patience and precision from both vineyard and cellar.
