This wine is named Uvaggio in reference to the fact it represents a blend of three grapes: 80% Nebbiolo, 15% Vespolina and 5% Croatina. Some of the fruit for the 2013 Coste della Sesia Uvaggio is harvested from parcels with sandy soils that give the wine more perfumed characteristics and other fruit is harvested from granite-rich soils that give the wine more structure and fiber. This is a deep and authentic red wine with balanced red fruit aromas that saturate a long and silky mouthfeel. Savory tones of spice and leather give the wine staying power. In all, the 2013 vintage is delicate and nuanced in nature.

The 2009 Uvaggio boasts compelling inner sweetness and layers of perfumed fruit. This is an especially juicy, radiant wine for this part of northern Piedmont, but at the same time, the trademark Lessona acidity keeps things in check. Sweet floral notes resonate on the finish. This is pure class and elegance. What an impressive wine. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019. The De Marchi family’s winery in their native Lessona continues its ascent into the upper echelon of Italian wine. These two new releases are absolutely fantastic.

The 2008 Uvaggio is predominantly Nebbiolo with some Vespolina and Croatina, a very typical blend in this part of Piedmont. The wine shows gorgeous textural depth without abandoning its roots. Sweet dark cherries, mint, rosemary and tobacco are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. This gorgeous, medium-bodied red is a great introduction to the wines of northern Piedmont because it is flat-out delicious and not at all eccentric, as some of the wines can be for those who are approaching these appellations for the first time. The Uvaggio is best enjoyed in its youth, while the fruit retains is juiciness, but there is also enough stuffing to allow the wine to age for a number of years. Menthol, sweet herbs and crushed flowers linger on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. Paolo De Marchi is best known for the wines he makes at Isole e Olena, but he is originally from Piedmont. In recent years De Marchi and his son Luca have been making huge efforts to put the wines from their family’s estate back on the map. I have been following Proprieta Sperino for some time. These are the first wines that are truly convincing, in fact they are stellar. Various American importers, including: Petit Pois, Merion, PA; tel.

Dried flowers, cherries, tobacco and herbs are some of the nuances that waft from the glass as the 2007 Uvaggio takes shape. This is a very pretty, understated red that nevertheless possess plenty of mid-palate material, not to mention a terrific sense of harmony. The Uvaggio is a blend of 70% Nebbiolo, 15% Vespolina and 15% Croatina that is vinified along traditional lines, with fermentation/maceration that lasted 3-4 weeks followed by 18 months in 5 and 15-hectoliter casks. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Paolo De Marchi is best known for the wines he makes at Isole e Olena, but he has a soft spot for Proprieta Sperino, in his native Piedmont. I have been following these wines for several years and quality seems to have improved markedly over that period. These mid-weight, gracious Nebbiolo-based reds capture all of the charm of the northern reaches of Piedmont. Importer: Petit Pois, Moorestown, NJ; tel. (856) 608-9644.
