Proprieta Sperino Lessona DOC

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.
