Wine enthusiasts will find joy in the exceptional Proprietà Sperino Vigna Covà Lessona Riserva 2015. This remarkable wine is a perfect representation of what the Alto Piemonte region has to offer, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of the estate. Vigna Covà stands as the estate's flagship, expertly crafted from Nebbiolo grapes that thrive on a sun-drenched hillside at 350 meters elevation. The vineyard's unique terroir, characterized by ancient marine sands and mineral-rich volcanic soils, creates a palate experience that is purely exquisite.
The 2015 vintage was particularly outstanding, benefiting from a warm, dry growing season. This vintage underwent fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open-top wooden vats and experienced an impressive 28-day maceration. It matured gracefully for 36 months in large, seasoned French oak casks, followed by an additional two years in the bottle before its much-anticipated release. As a result, this wine offers a complex and layered flavor profile that is both elegant and enchanting.
The aromatic bouquet features fragrant notes of raspberry, cranberry, and wild cherry, beautifully intertwined with elements of liquorice, dried herbs, and delicate rose petals. On the palate, the 2015 Proprietà Sperino Vigna Covà is silky, with dark cherry, blackberry, clove, and an underlying earthy minerality. The wine's tannins are flawlessly integrated, leading to a long, persistent finish characterized by vibrant acidity and a crushed stone quality. Notably, this vintage has received high acclaim, earning a remarkable 96 points from Antonio Galloni for Vinous and 95 points from Decanter, solidifying its reputation as one of the finest representations of Lessona.
This exquisite wine is sold as a case of 3 bottles, making it an ideal choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
