The 2007 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina is focused and nicely articulated. This is a rather firm, nuanced Gallina from La Spinetta with gorgeous length, tons of detail and fabulous overall balance. It is at once more concentrated and also deeper than the Bordini, so another few years in bottle seem a prerequisite. The Gallina is the…
Aromas of orange peel, fresh tobacco leaf and dark berry follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins and a nutty finish. Lots of cedar too. Gorgeous. Drink or hold. Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Appellation: Barbaresco Size: 750ml Color: Red Varietal Nebbiolo The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit…
Wow. This is at once a pronounced and vibrant nose, revealing wild strawberries, peaches, freshly picked raspberries, cinnamon, rose petals and stems. I love the steely tannins on the palate, which carve out an iron fist of fruit, but also a generous and velvety texture. Long and intense on the finish. Drink from 2024. Country:…
A gorgeous, elegant wine, the 2018 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina is captivating from the very first taste. Black cherry, plum, lavender, spice and menthol build in the glass. More than anything else, though, I am impressed by the wine’s vibrancy and poise. Gallina has always aged beautifully here. I expect that will be the case with…
Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Appellation: Barbaresco Size: 1.5Ltr Color: Red Varietal Nebbiolo The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy’s finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the…
The 2006 Barbaresco Starderi is easily the best of these three offerings, as the wine’s balance is exceptional. Aromatics, fruit and structure are all woven together in an impressive display of power and elegance. The fruit retains the house’s characteristic super-ripe style, but that element is more finely tuned here than in the estate’s other…
Following the Barbaresco Gallina Vürsù, the 2014 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù represents a clear step up in terms of intensity and structure. If the Gallina is about elegance and finesse, this wine is about brawn, personality and volume. Again, if we focus on mouthfeel alone, this Barbaresco delivers an etched and firm tannic structure that runs…
The 2016 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi is outrageously beautiful. Dense, powerful and rich, the 2016 races out of the glass with huge fruit to match its classically mid-weight profile. Super-ripe red/purplish berry fruit, wild flowers, licorice and mint play off the huge tannins with real grace. Readers have to be patient, but the 2016 Starderi is…
Starderi faces southwest, with greater exposure to the moderating influence of the Tanaro River. There are more spiced aromas in the 2018 Barbaresco Starderi Versu, including aniseed, white pepper, dried cherry, and fresh leather. The palate is incredibly long and inviting, with black raspberry, baking spice, and tea leaf. Drink 2022-2045. Country: Italy Region: Piedmont…
With the red label, the La Spinetta 2020 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù (with 14,500 bottles released) shows dark fruit, dried cherry and tarry smoke. There is a savory side to Starderi, and the wine delivers extra density and concentration to the finish. Like some of the other expressions from the warm 2020 growing season, this wine…
Suave and silky, this red boasts wild aromas and flavors of menthol and forest underbrush to complement its sweet cherry and berry notes. Opulent and dense, with complexity and a lingering aftertaste of fruit, woodsy spices and mineral. Best from 2014 through 2030. 580 cases made. Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Appellation: Barbaresco Size: 750ml Color:…
Dark red cherries, spices, menthol, anise and mint are some of the signatures in La Spinetta 2012 Barbaresco Vigneto Valeirano. The aromatics are piercing, while the typically vibrant Valeirano tannins give the wine its sense of energy and proportion. Sinewy and persistent, with lovely freshness for the year, the Valeirano is another strong wine from…
This is really exotic with dried rose petal, berry and walnut character. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a fruity finish. Needs time to develop but already fascinating. Drink or hold. Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Appellation: Barbaresco Size: 750ml Color: Red Varietal Nebbiolo The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit…
The 2017 Barbaresco Valeirano Vürsù shows increased focused and brighter high notes compared to the other new releases from La Spinetta. The Valeirano cru is located in Treiso and sees 50- to 60-year-old vines planted at 380 meters above sea level, where they benefit from cool nighttime temperatures in the crucial weeks leading up to…
Coming from Treiso (the rest come from Nieve), the 2022 Barbaresco Valeirano Versu is a medium red/orange color and is sweetly perfumed on opening with aromas of rose petal, wild strawberries, hints of blue flowers, and wet stones. The palate is where the structure gradually comes through, with ripe and youthful tannins, even acidity, and…
Intense ripe berry and dried fruit on the nose, with rose petal. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a mahogany, fruity, almost nutty undertone. Ripe and round. Very soft and pretty. Best from 2011 through 2015. Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Appellation: Barolo Size: 750ml Color: Red Varietal Nebbiolo The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to…
The 2016 Barolo Campè is superb. Dark, potent and powerful, the 2016 possesses tremendous intensity to match its dark, virile personality. More than anything else, in 2016 the Campè offers a captivating interplay of fruit and structure. The 2016 is not a shy wine; rather it is rich and hedonistic to the core, while maintaining…
This is really something, with superb concentration of fruit and tannins. It’s powerful yet harmonious with a muscular sense and agile feel. Blackberries and strawberries with bark and wet-earth undertones. Goes on for a long time on the palate. Give it three to five years of bottle age to come around. Best after 2024. Country:…
This entry-level Barolo is made with fruit from the younger vines from the Garretti cru in Grinzane Cavour, in the comune where La Spinetta has its ultra modern winery. The 2016 Barolo Vigneto Garretti offers a generous and accessible personality that makes this wine optimal for near or medium-term drinking. The bouquet is layered and…
