Proprietà Sperino is the realization of a long-held dream to revive the historic tradition of Lessona wines by restoring its vineyards and cellars and expressing the unique character of the region. Originally belonging to the Sperino family, the estate passed to their collateral relatives, the De Marchi family. In 1999, Paolo De Marchi and his son Luca returned to Piemonte from Tuscany, where Paolo had founded Isole & Olena, and took over the historic family estate. Today, Proprietà Sperino farms eight hectares at the foot of Monte Rosa, including six hectares in Lessona across the Belvedere, Ormeggio, Castagnola, Rava and Covà vineyards, and a further two and a half hectares at Madonna degli Angeli in Bramaterra. The vineyards are rooted in the area’s distinctive mineral-rich marine sands, while the wines are made in the historic cellars of Lessona Castle, reflecting both the unique terroir and long heritage of this remarkable corner of Piemonte.
