Tasting Note

On the palate, the wine has fresh acidity, silky tannins and succulent red and black fruit flavours. The finish is long with a touch of minerality.

Product Notes

Proprietà Sperino Lessona is a splendid Italian wine cultivated in Northern Piedmont's stunning hilly terrain, encapsulating a noble wine-making legacy. This blend primarily features Nebbiolo grapes, complemented with Vespolina and Uva Rara. Its dazzling ruby red hue heralds a sophisticated palate; expect the enthralling symphony of ripe cherries, violets, and spices, balanced by pleasing acidity. Maturation in oak barrels bestows an elegant complexity, noticeable in the layered undertones of leather, truffle, and cedar. A sip of Lessona delivers a silken feel and enduring finish, making it a refined companion to most delectable cuisines. A remarkable testament to Italian viniculture!

About the Winery

Proprietà Sperino

Proprieta Sperino is a strikingly charismatic winery housed in Italy's Piedmont region. Striving to produce wines that perfectly mirror their authentic lineage, the winery grandly embodies a passionate commitment to preserving the past's artisan traditions. Dating back to the 19th century, the glorious winery is as rich in its age-old practices, as it is in its splendidly sophisticated wines.

Having endured a phase of dormancy through much of the 20th century, Proprieta Sperino was realistically resurrected by Paolo De Marchi in the late 1990’s. He, along with his son Luca, painstakingly recreated the winery while meticulously nurturing the vineyards that had gone previously untended. The restoration process in itself stands as a testament to the profound respect De Marchi has for this corner of viticulture.

Situated in Lessona, Proprieta Sperino spreads felicitously across 7 hectares of land carpeted with rich, sandy soil. It’s this soil, coupled with the distinctive microclimate, that permits the vines to develop fruit of inimitable intensity. Here, you will find predominantly Nebbiolo and Vespolina grapes, these varieties deliver characteristically aromatic and elegant wines.

Boasting a quite modern cellar equipped with wooden vats, Proprieta Sperino attaches immense value to traditional winemaking processes. Each wine encompasses a perfect blend of delicacy and potency, with earthy undertones complimenting the fruity complexity. Their stand-out Lessona DOC, ``Uvaggio'', is particularly adored for its remarkable balance and aging potential.

Contributing to the tapestry of Italian winemaking, Proprieta Sperino ensures each vintage released is of unparalleled quality and character. This gem of a winery is, indeed a captivating representation of Italy’s illustrious wine heritage.
