The Lessona is predominantly Nebbiolo with 5% Vespolina that is vinified along traditional lines, with fermentation/maceration that lasted 4-5 weeks followed by 30 months in 5 and 15-hectoliter casks. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018. Paolo De Marchi is best known for the wines he makes at Isole e Olena, but he has a soft spot for Proprieta Sperino, in his native Piedmont. I have been following these wines for several years and quality seems to have improved markedly over that period. These mid-weight, gracious Nebbiolo-based reds capture all of the charm of the northern reaches of Piedmont. Importer: Petit Pois, Moorestown, NJ; tel. (856) 608-9644.
