2024 Proprietà Sperino Rosa del Rosa Piemonte Rosato
£22.00
“The 2024 “Rosa del Rosa” from Proprietà Sperino represents a refined alpine-born rosato that originates from one of Piedmont’s most historic and visionary estates. Proprietà Sperino operates from Lessona in Alto Piemonte while Paolo De Marchi (Isole e Olena) leads the estate as its northern project and the wines demonstrate his dedication to pure wines that showcase precise terroir expression. The 2024 Nebbiolo-based rosé features Vespolina as its secondary grape while delivering scents of wild strawberries and blood orange and rose petals and mountain herbs through its crisp structure of bright acidity and mineral tension. The wine presents itself as a structured rosé which maintains subtle characteristics while remaining dry and linear with multiple layers.”
96 Points, Orazio Campoli
“The 2024 Rosa del Rosa is nuanced in the glass, slowly evolving with hints of shaved ginger, pine and sweet smoke. It comes to life on the palate, opening with a pretty inner sweetness offset by citrus-infused orchard fruits and crisp mineral tones, all accelerated by juicy acidity. A cascade of ripe melon mixes with minty herbs as the 2024 finishes with exceptional length. Give this a little air to reveal its hidden charms.”

Product Description
Proprietà Sperino is a splendid,12-hectare hillside estate in the small town of Lessona, near Biella in northern Piemonte. Here, the soils were formed over 300 million years ago by the explosion of a supervolcano, creating sandy soils known as “ori di Lessona (Lessona’s gold), which are rich in minerals, particularly manganese and iron. The soil’s extremely low pH (one of the lowest in the wine world) allows the Nebbiolo vines to take on the marked minerality that Lessona is famed for. The wines of Proprietà Sperino are consistently superb, embracing a Burgundian style that is fragrant yet intense.
The estate was inherited by the De Marchi family (who previously owned the 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 dreamed of revitalising Proprietà Sperino. This dream was eventually realised with the help of his son Luca, who now runs the estate and makes the wines with Paolo’s guidance.
Their ‘Rosa del Rosa’ Rosato is a lovely Nebbiolo rosé with a mineral and savoury character.
