Azienda Agricola La Spinetta La Spinetta Barbaresco Vigneto Valeirano 2019 750ml

The 2019 Barbaresco Vlgneco Valeirano continues its progression as the most improved of the Spinetta Barbarescos. Dark cherry, plum, spice, menthol, dried herbs, leather, sage and incense fill out the layers effortlessly. The tannins, often quite potent here, are present, they are nicely integrated in the wine's fabric. The Valeirano is the most savory and mineral (and least fruity) of the Spinetta Barbarescos.<br/><br/>

Packaged with the distinctive rhinoceros label (in blue), the La Spinetta 2019 Barbaresco Valeirano Vürsù has some ripeness and softness that is expressed with blackberry, plum and sweet spice. The wine is structured and full-bodied, but it also shows integrated tannins that support the wine in a firm but effortless manner.

Lots of roses to the red fruits and dry earth aromas. Some lemon bush. It’s medium-bodied with chewy tannins and a leaner and fresh finish. Drinkable, but better in a couple of years.

Savory and tightly wound, with black cherry and plum fruit framed by juniper, menthol and licorice accents. Vibrant and firmly structured, this lingers with spice notes and a chalky feel on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2040. 580 cases made, 45 cases imported.
