Tenute Sella Orbello Coste Della Sesia Nebbiolo 2023 750ml

An Elegant Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo with red cherry, rose, spice, fine tannins and mineral freshness.

Tenute Sella Orbello Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo 2023 is a refined red from Alto Piemonte, an area known for producing lighter, more fragrant and mineral expressions of Nebbiolo. It is mainly Nebbiolo, with small additions of Vespolina and Cabernet Sauvignon, giving the wine aromatic lift, gentle spice and extra structure.

This is an approachable yet elegant Italian red, showing bright red fruit, savoury detail and fine tannins rather than heavy richness. It is a beautiful choice for those who enjoy Nebbiolo with freshness, finesse and regional character.

Palate: Medium bodied and elegant, with bright red fruit, fine tannins, savoury spice and fresh acidity.

Finish: Long, dry and refined, with lingering cherry, rose, herbs and a clean mineral edge.

Serving Suggestions

Serve slightly cool or at cellar temperature. A lovely match with mushroom risotto, roast chicken, pork, lamb, charcuterie, truffle dishes, tomato based pasta or aged cheeses.

About the Winery / Producer / Region

Tenute Sella is one of the historic wine estates of Alto Piemonte, with vineyard roots dating back to 1671. The Sella family has been closely connected to the region for centuries, helping preserve the traditional vineyard culture of northern Piedmont through long term stewardship of its hillside sites.

Orbello takes its name from a small village near the estate vineyards and has been part of the Tenute Sella range for decades. It reflects the classic local tradition of blending Nebbiolo with supporting varieties such as Vespolina, which adds spice and perfume, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives subtle depth and structure.

Coste della Sesia sits in northern Piedmont, below the Alps, where cooler conditions, volcanic and mineral soils, and long growing seasons produce Nebbiolo with fragrance, precision and fine tannin. Compared with the more powerful wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, Alto Piemonte Nebbiolo is often lighter in body, more savoury and beautifully aromatic.

Cellaring Potential

Enjoy now for its brightness and fragrant red fruit, or cellar for 4 to 8 years to allow more savoury complexity and softer tannins to develop.
