In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Red cherry and rose petal open onto subtle tobacco and leather; firm, ripe tannins and bright acidity keep the wine alive and elegant. This Nebbiolo sits between power and refinement, arriving in the glass already drinking beautifully with the kind of restraint that lets you taste the vineyard.

The Winery — La Prevostura

When Luca De Marchi of Proprietà Sperino acquired La Prevostura in 2019, he gained access to one of Lessona's most distinctive vineyard sites. Winemaker Maurizio Forgia, brought in to lead the project, works with a gentle hand: half the grapes remain uncrushed during fermentation, kept on their skins for around three weeks in cement vessels, then split between larger tonneaux and second-use barrels. The 2019 vintage benefited from favourable late-summer conditions, ripening to perfect maturity. Two years of bottle age allow the wine to knit together and develop its savoury depth, expressing the clay-rich soils and warmer growing seasons that define this four-hectare holding.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Pour this wine with roasted game, braised beef, or aged Fontina—it won't overwhelm the table, but will elevate it. The firm structure and acidity make it equally at home with mushroom and truffle dishes or a proper roast dinner. Farmed without chemicals and released as vegan and vegetarian-friendly, this wine represents the thoughtful, site-specific approach you'll find across our Piedmont selection and among independent producers throughout Italy. Cellar-worthy and rewarding—worth exploring further. Serve at 16–18°C, decanted 30 minutes before service.
