Noah Coste della Sesia Rosso “Dellamesola”

“Dellamesola” is named after Andrea Mosca’s zone of Brusnengo, and is a letter-perfect exemplar of the specialness of his terroir in miniature. Comprising 80% Nebbiolo and 10% each Vespolina and Croatina from just outside the delimitation of the Bramaterra appellation, it spent one year in large Slavonian oak casks and was bottled with minimal sulfur. Open-knit yet still built around a core of pert acidity, “Dellamesola” delivers the volcanic thrust of Bramaterra on a friendlier and more immediately luscious frame, with lifted, vividly articulated dark red fruit and a subtle floral character.
