Proprieta Sperino - Rosa del Rosa, Piemonte, Italy (2024)

TASTING NOTES

with a mineral and savoury character. Vibrant pink in colour and boasting distinct aromas of white peaches and wild strawberries.

Forget everything you think you know about rosé. The grapes for this masterpiece come from four different vineyards, one of which, Madonna degli Angeli, is home to vines aged 45-90 years. Aged 6 months in stainless steel on fine lees.

This splendid 10 hectare hillside estate is situated in the small town of Lessona, near Biella in northern Piemonte. It passed into the De Marchi family (of top Chianti Classico estate, Isole e Olena) through their relative, Felice Sperino, a passionate viticulturist and professor in Turin.

Since the 1970s, Paolo De Marchi has dreamed of revitalising the Sperino estate, a dream that has come to fruition with the help of his elder son, Luca, who now runs the estate and makes the wines with Paolo’s guidance.
