2019 | La Spinetta | Barbaresco Starderi

Light ruby red with hints of dried violet, spices and ripe wild strawberries on the nose. Elegant and refined, with nuances of citrus fruit and flowers that add personality to the long finish. Tannins are present but smooth.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The La Spinetta 2019 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù is perfumed and bright with dark rose and wild plum. The wine is solid and dense, with a pretty presentation of fruit that feels healthy and crunchy at the same time. The tannins are well integrated into this structured, full-bodied Barbaresco. The Starderi has shown a very consistent performance over the years. These releases from La Spinetta are all packaged in big, heavy glass bottles.

• Wine Spectator: A powerful red, yet well-defined too, with strawberry, cherry, floral, mineral and tobacco aromas and flavors aligned to a muscular structure. Feels balanced overall, yet will take a few years to fully integrate.

Producer Information

La Spinetta is an Italian wine producer making wines predominantly in Piedmont. It is particularly known for its single-vineyard Barbaresco wines and the Barolo Campe, plus an innovative blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera called Pin. These wines are known for their ripe, voluptuous style, and can be drunk young or aged for many years.The estate was founded in 1977, with production initially focused on Moscato. In 1985, La Spinetta released its first red wine, the Cà di Pian, a Barbera d'Asti. Pin was introduced in 1989 and the first single-vineyard Nebbiolo, the Barbaresco Gallina, was released in 1995.La Spinetta's vineyards have older vines, usually at least 35 years of age. Extensive green harvesting keeps yields low and maximizes quality, and often allows La Spinetta to pick a week or so earlier than its neighbors.
