THE WINE
The 'Margherita Barbero' by Luigi Spertino is one of the most engaging and emotional expressions of the famous Piedmontese grape variety, Grignolino. Produced with pure grapes from two beautiful parcels located respectively in Mombercelli and Portocomaro. Grapes are strictly hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in steel. It then ages in terracotta amphorae for 12 months. Light red color tending towards pink. A complex and refined red wine, with hints of dog rose, black pepper, and crunchy red berries. On the palate, it is deep and smooth, fresh, spicy, and floral. Excellent.
Luigi Spertino and then Mauro Spertino, a family tradition that has continued for generations in the name of enhancing the Grignolino grape in the land of Monferrato. We are in the Astigiano, in the small municipality of Mombercelli, where since 1977 Luigi has officially produced (because before it was sold in bulk) characterful and high-quality wines, the result of sustainable and laborious viticulture. Deeply tied to his land, a master of ancient farming practices and an unstoppable winemaker, at over 90 years old he supports his son Mauro, today the soul and heir of this small standout reality in the Piedmontese landscape. However, Luigi's work does not stop, and even if he cannot physically participate in vineyard activities, he watches with a big smile as his son works and gets emotional when he sees the first bunch of grapes at each harvest. Mauro, just like his father, is a curious, humble, and competent man; his wines attest to his abilities in the cellar.
The vineyards of Luigi Spertino are located in Mandorle on grassy soils characterized by a steep slope. The body is divided into two slopes with different exposures. On one side are the old Barbera vineyards facing west, and on the other are the young rows of Pinot Noir also looking west. Additionally, besides the steep Cortese vineyards, there are extraordinary Grignolino parcels, one officially purchased in Mombercelli and another very suitable in the historic sandy area of Portacomaro. All operations are carried out manually, with no tractors, to prevent the soil from becoming too compact and dense. Even in the cellar, Mauro has chosen a respectful and minimally invasive approach that aims only to let the grape juice gently transform into wine.
The wines reflect the entire peasant soul of these lands and the respectful and artisanal work of the Spertino family. Expressions of character and personality, simple landscape portraits that recall the taste of ancient tradition and pay homage to the place where they come to life. A limited production that stands out among the hills of Monferrato, the land of Barbera, for the timeless Grignolino wine, a classic of the tradition that manages to smooth all the rough edges of the variety and bring to the glass a striking and gentle sip.
