    In the shadow of the Alps in the North Piedmont region, Paolo de Marchi and his son Luca are reviving the historic Lessona area, a region that carries a great winemaking heritage. Uvaggio is produced mainly from Nebbiolo with a small percentage of Vespolina and Croatina varieties that tradition wants to be added to the blend to soften the fruit and give extra colour to the wine. The wine comes from vineyards in Lessona and the neighbouring Bramaterra and is fermented with indigenous yeasts in open oak fermenters. This is a beautiful, floral, fruit forward rendition of Nebbiolo, which is more elegant and approachable than its Barolo and Barbaresco counterparts.

    More info

    This wine draws on the tradition of Piemonte but equally of Burgundy. On the sandy soils of Lessona, Nebbiolo acquires a bouquet of aromas like rose, wild cherry and wild grapefruit with notes of tobacco, dried herbs and lively mineral dimension. On the palate its tannins are firm but velvety; the acidity is delicious same as the earthy dimension of the wine on the palate that reminds of wet leaves and brushwood. The wine doesn’t share the muscular character of a south Piemonte Barolo, but what it lacks in power it offers in aroma, energy and finesse.
