Massimo Clerico Costa della Sesia Rosso 'Ca' du Leria' 2021 Niederosterreich the workhorse Blanc de NoirsThis wine is produced from the Vigna Leria, a vineyard site that sits immediately adjacent to the family home. It is a blend of Nebbiolo (50%), Croatina (30%) and Vespolina (20%). Sitting on an ancient seabed, the soils are very poor and porous which permit the vines to extend deeply into the soil.
