Almost every year, Barolo Campè takes top places among its high-calibre competitors. Fittingly, the majestic red wine bears the king of beasts, a lion, on its ornate yellow label. We think: There could hardly be a better graphic interpretation of this deep and stately wine. An all-round successful experience. Aromas of flowers and berries on the nose, with notes of vanilla and a hint of rosebud, full-bodied and very concentrated, with great, initially still chewy tannins and a long, powerful final.

"The Barolo Campè 2020 is an attractive, open-knit Barolo from La Spinetta. There is no mistaking that the aromas and flavours are rather forward for such a young wine, suggesting some winemaking challenges. Sweet dried cherries, mint, spice, leather and tobacco linger." Vinous

"The label of La Spinetta 2020 Barolo Campè depicts a lion, representing the "king of wines, the wine of kings", as Barolo is often described. It has a dark fruit core with smoky layers of campfire ash and flint. The definition is medium-bodied and the wine shows a dark, concentrated appearance. The bouquet is still somewhat closed at this young stage and needs longer ageing." Wine Advocate

"Rose, cherry and pomegranate flavors are framed with juniper, eucalyptus, spice and iron notes in this elegant yet intense red. Firmly structured and builds nicely to the long, complex aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"Rich and inviting Barolo with notes of peach stone, sandalwood, red cherries, sweet basil and potpourri. It is full-bodied and comprehensive with fine-grained, powdery tannins. Powerful fruit. Try it from 2027 onwards." James Suckling
