Proprieta Sperino
Tuscan superstar Paolo de Marchi from Isole e Olena took over the Sperino estate in 1999 with dreams of revitalising the property which had been owned by the Di Marchi family since the early-1900s and realising the dream of returning to his family's origins. Located in the small town of Lessona in Northern Piedmont, Paolo farms his vines from the regions Pliocene marine sands at around 300 metres above sea-level. The varieties are of course Nebbiolo for the Lessona DOC, with the addition of Vespolina and Croatina for the Uvaggio Costa della Sesia DOC beautifully crafted wines from one of Italy’s great winemakers.
