La Spinetta
About La Spinetta
Founded as, relatively, recently as 1977 by Giuseppe Rivetti, La Spinetta is currently under the stewardship of second-generation Giorgio who has overseen a remarkable rise to the pinnacle of Barbaresco and an impressive expansion of everything from vineyards to range of cuvées.
Without question most famous for their truly exceptional Barolo and Barbaresco wines, La Spinetta has actually been producing these for fewer than three decades, starting with the Gallina cuvée in 1995. A mere handful of vintages, in the context of ancient Piedmont producers, to master the terroir of Italy’s most noble region, La Spinetta has nevertheless ascended the pyramid alongside the likes of mighty Gaja to become one of the most coveted labels in fine wine, especially amongst those with a passion for Barbaresco.

Vinous (95)Supremely elegant and light on its feet, La Spinetta's 2016 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina is simply fabulous. Freshly cut flowers, mint, spice and a touch of French oak add nuance to a core of sweet red/purplish berry fruit. Wonderfully supple and racy, the Gallina captures every bit of the potential 2016 had to offer. This is such a gorgeous wine. I can't remember tasting a Gallina here with this much diversity. |

Vinous (96)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 a rock star wine. That's pretty much all there is to it. |

Vinous (95+)The 2016 Barbaresco Vigneto Valeirano is the most refined wine I have tasted from this site in Treiso. The tannins, always forbidding in Valeirano, are wonderfully polished, and yet convey the essential feeling of structure that is such a central part of what makes Barbaresco so compelling as a wine. Dark wild cherry, incense, graphite, spice and dried flowers add shades of dimension to this virile, potent Barbaresco that captures the essence of this site, but with an added touch of sophistication that is quite welcome. I can't wait to see how the 2016 ages. In a word: Superb! |
