The soft seat is one of the oldest wineries in business today. The family produces wine Lessona Sella, from mid-600. Even today the company maintains its original size craft, historically devoted to small-scale quality products. The wines produced from the approximately 20 ha of vineyards, of which about 80,000 bottles a year. winemaking techniques and the same technology found in the cellar, are constantly updated, always check the capacity to ensure the best results in terms of clean, pleasant aroma and definition of the wines. According to the philosophy Sella the word "classic " means in full compliance with, and indeed the enhancement of the most authentic of the terroir and grape varieties, preferring non-invasive work, such as to lose touch with the essence and the uniqueness of these wines.
