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.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-01T14:57:03-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-17T17:57:47-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","other_italian wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Proprieta Sperino","Region_Piedmont","RK1602","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Cabernet Franc"],"price":109600,"price_min":109600,"price_max":109600,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42787985817738,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Proprieta Sperino | L Franc","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":109600,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/45_0ecf5a81-babd-44da-84e8-0e9d6a897503.png?v=1676674710"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/45_0ecf5a81-babd-44da-84e8-0e9d6a897503.png?v=1676674710","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Proprieta Sperino | L Franc at CaskCartel.com","id":24248397693066,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.314,"height":328,"width":103,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/45_0ecf5a81-babd-44da-84e8-0e9d6a897503.png?v=1676674710"},"aspect_ratio":0.314,"height":328,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/45_0ecf5a81-babd-44da-84e8-0e9d6a897503.png?v=1676674710","width":103}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2016 | Proprieta Sperino | L Franc\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt opens with classic varietal aromas of cassis, cedar, exotic spice and a whiff of bell pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Proprieta Sperino\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2016\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cabernet Franc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Italy, Piedmont\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt opens with classic varietal aromas of cassis, cedar, exotic spice and a whiff of bell pepper. Juicy and savory, the smooth concentrated palate doles out ripe black cherry, black currant, ground pepper and star anise framed in velvety tannins that give it an almost weightless character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nProprietà Sperino is a winery near the town of Lessona in Piedmont, Northern Italy.
