The 2018 Proprietà Sperino Uvaggio Coste della Sesia is a refined Northern Piedmont red that showcases a traditional Alto Piemonte blend, led by Nebbiolo with smaller portions of Vespolina and Croatina. Crafted in the Lessona area, it reflects a cooler-climate, mineral-driven style—often compared to a more delicate, “Burgundian” expression of Nebbiolo. The nose is aromatic and lifted, showing red cherry, raspberry and floral notes of rose, layered with hints of mint, spice and earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and fine, supple tannins, delivering a juicy core of red fruit balanced by savoury complexity and mineral tension. The finish is long, fresh and lightly spicy, emphasizing elegance and drinkability over power.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic alternative to Barolo or Barbaresco—lighter, fresher and more approachable while still offering classic Nebbiolo character. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy elegant, terroir-driven reds with high acidity and finesse. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with pasta, risotto, roasted meats or mushroom dishes.
