“Luca De Marchi crafts gorgeous, distinctive wines at his family’s estate in Lessona. The Uvaggio is a Nebbiolo-based blend from vineyards in both Lessona and Bramaterra, while the Lessona is, naturally, from Lessona and 100% Nebbiolo, without the blenders that are allowed in the appellation. The Sperino wines offer a combination of energy and textural depth that is striking.”
“The 2015 Lessona Riserva Vigna Cova is one of the very best wines I have tasted from Proprieta Sperino. it embodies everything Lessona and Alto Piemonte can be. The aromatics alone are simply beguiling. But the 2015 has plenty of textural depth and body too. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2015 will take readers on a fabulous ride. Superb.

“The 2022 Rosa del Rosa is delicate and airy in the glass, slowly evolving with green melon, dusty rose and ginger. It’s silk and enveloping with a burst of minerality up front that gives way to young peach and savory spice. This leaves the palate bone dry yet watering tor more as the 2022 finishes pleasantly chewy and with medium length. This is a more understated vintage tor the Rosa Del Rosa, yet still pleasurable.
