Proprietà Sperino Lessona 2016

The Proprietà Sperino Lessona is a majestic red wine made solely from the Nebbiolo grape. It is intense yet velvety, thanks to the soil in this zone that yields softer tannins in the grapes than those found in Nebbiolo from the Langhe region of Piemonte. At the winery the grapes are sorted while on the conveyor belt, then de-stemmed, gently pressed and then fed by gravity into the fermentation tank. Fermentation with natural yeasts took place in open topped wooden fermenters and the wine then remained 18 months sur lie. The wine aged in barrels and oval 15 hectolitre casks for 35 months before being bottled in September 2019. A period of further ageing took place in bottle before release. Deep ruby in colour with a beautiful nose typical of the area, this wine showcases aromas of red cherries, dried rose petals, rosemary and pine needles. On the palate, the wine has fresh acidity, silky tannins and succulent red and black fruit flavours. The finish is long with a touch of minerality.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
