Barbaresco “Vigneto Starderi” DOCG 2018

La Spinetta / Giorgio Rivetti | Piedmont
La Spinetta s.s. | Via Annunziata 17 | IT 14054 Castagnole Lanze

Barbaresco Starderi from the municipality of Neive is almost austere with its aroma of pink pepper and cocoa, which, combined with the subtle wood notes, gives a delicious overall aroma; powerful and rich on the palate with the still superficial but very noble tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep and complex, somewhat smoky, clearly mushroomy and a little meaty aroma with notes of predominantly red berries, rose petals, hints of cloves and spicy nuances. Ripe, firm, juicy fruit, partly seeming preserved, a little nutty and cocoa-spicy wood notes, present, crumbly tannin, persistent, multilayered, much power, good depth, in the background some liquorice, peppery and dried-floral nuances, noticeable extract sweetness, in the background also salt, very good, juicy and spicy, firm finish. Becomes juicier and more complex over days." Wein-Plus

"Roses, dried fruit, hazelnuts and some spices on the nose. Full-bodied with very creamy tannins that are polished and beautiful. This is very structured and needs time to soften, but beautiful and solid." James Suckling

"Another especially elegant expression from La Spinetta, the 2018 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù demonstrates how well this winery worked in this slightly cooler growing season. All the wines across this portfolio appear bright and more ethereal, representing a subtle pivot for proprietor Giorgio Rivetti and his crew. Dried cassis, limestone and crushed flowers emerge from the bouquet, and the wine imparts a lasting and highly polished mouthfeel." Wine Advocate

"The 2018 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi is a powerful, structured wine. Readers will have to be patient with the 2018, as it is a mere infant. Dried cherry, mint, spice, rose petal, kirsch and sweet red cherry fill out the layers nicely as the Starderi shows off its characteristic volume. Give this a few years to soften." Vinous
