プロプリエタ・スペリーノ
ピエモンテ北部、アルプスの麓にあるビエッラの近くレッソーナという小さな町に位置するプロプリエタ・スペリーノ。この地域でのワイン造りの伝統は長く19世紀の終わりまでに4万ヘクタールの畑が植えられていました。この土地を相続したパオロ・デ・マルキがワイン造りを始めたのがこのワイナリーの始まりです。レッソーナの土壌と気候はネッビオーロに固有の特徴を与えています。砂状で酸性の土壌は非常に水はけが良いためブドウの根が養分となるミネラルを求め深くまで根を張ります。気候は非常にドライで日照に恵まれ、アルプスから流れる涼しい夜風が暑い夏を和らげることによりブドウの成長の期間が長くなり、結果として上質の風味、ミネラルをたたえた味わい、滑らかなタンニンなど素晴らしい個性を備えたワインが生まれます。
“Proprietà Sperino” is located in the small town of Lessona, near Biella, in the foothills of the Alps of Northern Piemonte. This is a region that boasts a long viticultural tradition and by the end of the 19th century, more than 40,000 hectares of vineyard were planted in this area. Later on, the region’s growing industrialization, especially in Biella and in nearby Milan, Turin, and Switzerland, led to a rural exodus and many of these vineyards were abandoned. When Paolo De Marchi, the grandson of the family that inherited Proprieta Sperino, began working at Isole e Olena in 1976, he always dreamed of revitalizing viticulture at Lessona.
The winemaking combines the tradition of the area with the experience Paolo De Marchi has acquired in the past thirty years. The wines are made in the old gravity-fed cellar, which dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, and has been modernized where necessary.
