2018 | Proprieta Sperino | Costa della Sesia Uvaggio

Vibrant ruby red in the glass, this wine has a very floral nose. The lifted palate is packed with attractive red fruit and has great texture thanks to the supple, approachable tannins and good acidity. More savoury and mineral notes come through on the long finish.

Producer Information

Proprietà Sperino is a winery near the town of Lessona in Piedmont, Northern Italy. Its wine range is focused on the Nebbiolo grape variety. There are four products in total, beginning with the Lessona DOC red which is pure Nebbiolo. The Uvaggio Coste della Sesia DOC adds some Vespolina and Croatina. The Rosa del Rosa which is a Nebbiolo-dominant rosé with a touch of Vespolina and the Grappa di Lessona which is distilled using the bain-marie method. The estate is owned by Paolo de Marchi who inherited the it from his grandfather. Paolo de Marchi is considered one of Tuscany's finest winemakers and additionally owns Isole e Olena which produces very highly-regarded Chianti Classico. With the help of his elder son, Luca, Paolo has restored Proprietà Sperino back to a fully functioning wine estate. In 1999, Paolo and Luca started work on the restoration and by 2006 the first vintage, a 2004, was released. The vineyards cover eight hectares with plots in the Belvedere, Ormeggio, Castagnola, Rava, Covà and Madonna degli Angeli vineyards. Most of the vineyards have yellow sandy soils and are managed using traditional methods with little in the way of herbicides or chemical fertilizers. This traditional approach also extends to the winemaking with vinification and fermentation taking place largely in tanks with the wine then aged in both barrel and then bottle.
