The nose is layered and refined, with aromas of red cherry, wild berries, rose petal, liquorice, tar, spice, and subtle earthy undertones that unfold beautifully with air.\n\nOn the palate, it is full of tension and finesse, combining firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and concentrated dark and red fruit. The finish is long and mineral, with impressive depth and complexity. This is a wine built for patience and will reward long cellaring, developing even more nuance over the next 15–25 years and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSperss comes from carefully selected Nebbiolo vineyards in Piedmont, where the continental climate, hillside exposures, and calcareous soils help shape the wine’s elegance and structure.
