The Sella family traces their history in wine all the way back to the 1700s, which is remarkable in today's fast-paced world. The Sellas own properties across several appellations centered around Lessona and Bramaterra. At their best, the wines are translucent and super-expressive. The winemaking style is best described as enlightened traditional. Like so many of their peers, the Sellas release their top wines with a few years in bottle, which means they are ready to drink when they arrive in the market. The best wines also have an uncanny ability to age. I can't recommend the Sella wines highly enough.

Sella is one of the top estates in Northern Piedmont. I have always adored these wines since I first visited the estate a decade ago. I was reminded of how beautiful the wines are when I enjoyed a stellar bottle of the flagship 2006 Omaggio a Quintino Sella recently. Sella's Nebbiolo-based reds capture the essence of the Lessona and Bramaterra appellations. Stylistically, the wines are medium in body. Aging is done mostly in cask, which confers mid-weight structures and a classic sense of tannin. These gorgeous, food-friendly wines remain accessibly priced and should be a part of any well-stocked cellar, especially for readers looking for ageworthy reds that don't cost a fortune.
