The Spanna di Lessona: from the ancient sands at the foot of the Alps the most elegant, noble and tasty version of Nebbiolo. The winemaking takes place with the utmost respect for the local tradition. For this purpose, the restoration of the cellar is only conservative since it was already designed to work entirely by gravity at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Fermentations with macerations lasting more than a month take place in low, wide, completely open wooden vats.

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.

Nebbiolo wines are renowned for their elegance, complexity, and longevity. They hail predominantly from the Piedmont region in northwest Italy, particularly in areas like Barolo and Barbaresco, where the grape thrives in the region's unique microclimate and soil conditions.
The wines pair exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, thanks to their acidity, tannins, and flavor profile. They are particularly well-suited to rich, hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, truffle-infused dishes, and aged cheeses. Their versatility also allows them to complement more delicate dishes like mushroom risotto or roasted poultry.
