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.
