Noah Lessona 2015
Nebbiolo | Italy
At the forefront of this movement is Andrea Mosca, who abandoned his career as an architect nine years ago and acquired three hectares of vines in and around the village of Brusnengo, in the heart of the Bramaterra appellation. Christening his project NOAH, after his then-newborn son Francesco Noah, Andrea quickly set to producing thrillingly pure wines beginning with the 2011 vintage, and we have been by his side since the outset. Bramaterra—a portmanteau of bramare (“to long for”) and terra (“the land”)—is certainly a fitting home base nomenclature-wise for one who changed careers in the manner of Andrea, and he has since acquired a hectare and a half in the neighboring appellation of Lessona as well. It has been a thrill to witness Andrea’s evolution, and today, with nine harvests under his belt, he exudes the quiet confidence of a skilled winegrower—one who is always seeking to coax further expressiveness from the land to which he returned.
