A striking Barbaresco displaying soaring rose petal aromatics, juicy wild strawberry, sweet spice, and sculpted tannins.
Aged 20 months in medium-toasted French barriques, followed by 12 months aging in bottle before release
Giorgio Rivetti and the La Spinetta team consistently craft some of the most aromatically captivating Nebbiolos in Piedmont, and this single-vineyard Barbaresco from Starderi is a tour de force. Bursting from the glass with fresh rose petals, mint, wild strawberry, and sweet baking spice, it delivers full-bodied richness balanced by pristine poise. The tannins are creamy and sculpted, carrying into an expansive, memorable finish.
Strawberry, peach and fresh pink rose aromas. Some hibiscus as well. Full-bodied and very layered with gorgeous tannins that are soft and creamy in texture yet compacted and focused. Best after 2028 but already so beautiful to taste.
The 2021 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi is one of the classiest wines I have tasted from La Spinetta. Vibrant and poised, with striking beauty, the 2021 is wonderfully vivid in the glass. Crushed rose petal, spice, mint, orange peel and cinnamon all soar out of the glass.
