Lessona

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. Most of the vineyards have yellow sandy soils and are managed using traditional methods with little in the way of herbicides or chemical fertilizers. 

Fresh garnet red and a rather restrained-cool aroma spectrum open with a lot of understatement the very powerful and spicy taste experience at the first sip, which never seems muscular or meaty, but expands with constant, medium pressure and a cornucopia of ripe fruit in the mouth. Here and also in the finish, the Nebbiolo in Lessona style comes to full development - unlike Barolo or Barbaresco with more restraint and therefore a depth that only reveals itself after some time.
