Description

A Historical Expression of Nebbiolo
The 1957 Spanna represents a remarkable glimpse into the winemaking traditions of northern Piedmont. Produced in an era before modern techniques, these wines capture a more rustic, authentic side of Nebbiolo, known locally as Spanna. For collectors and enthusiasts, opening such a bottle is like traveling back in time to taste the region as it once was.

The Character of the 1957 Vintage
1957 was a classic vintage for the region, marked by a moderate growing season that produced wines of finesse rather than sheer power. Over the decades, the best examples from this year have gained a delicate, almost Burgundian charm. While not as robust as other great vintages, 1957 wines are valued for their aromatic complexity and graceful evolution.

An Intricate and Evolving Bouquet
Today, a 1957 Spanna offers an enchanting bouquet of dried roses, faded red fruit, tobacco, and earthy forest floor. Hints of leather, tea leaves, and subtle spice add further intrigue. The palate is gentle yet persistent, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity providing a framework for the wine’s delicate flavors.

Serving and Enjoyment Recommendations
Older Spanna wines are best handled with care. Stand the bottle upright for several days to allow any sediment to settle, and consider a gentle decant shortly before serving. Enjoy it slightly below room temperature to highlight its delicate aromas. Ideal pairings include aged cheeses, mushroom-based dishes, or simple roasted meats that let the wine’s complexity shine.

A Piece of Piedmont’s Winemaking Heritage
Owning or tasting a 1957 Spanna is more than just enjoying a mature wine — it is experiencing a piece of Piedmont’s viticultural history. Whether shared on a special occasion or treasured in a collection, this wine embodies the timeless spirit and unique character of the Alto Piemonte hills, offering a rare and memorable journey through the decades.
