Propieta Sperino, Lessona Vintage:2008 berry fruit nose

berry fruit nose

ripe tannins reach the front teeth on the extremely long aftertaste

I also tasted two consecutive vintages of the slate Pinot Noir

(also from 60 to 70 year old vines)

it has incredible elegance

Propieta Sperino, Lessona Vintage:2008 berry fruit nose2008 was a cold and difficult vintage, but the wine, first tasted in 2013, is holding up well and shows no astringency. The colour is scarcely evolved and the nose is surprisingly lush, showing bright and juicy cherry fruit. The palate has more weight than Uvaggio but it's supported by good acidity that gives persistence and a finish that's elegant and silky.
