La Spinetta Cru Barbaresco Valeirano 2017
Our Verdict
Located in the town of Treiso lies the smallest of La Spinetta’s vineyards, with a mere three hectares. Valeirano is one of the most important crus, with vines aged 55 years old on average at an elevation of 380m. Soils are clayey limestone marl, of marine origin, with some sand.
"La Spinetta’s 2017 Barbaresco Valeirano is classy, elegant and polished from start to finish. Freshly cut flowers, mint, sweet red berry fruit and blood orange are some of the many notes that grace this super-expressive, inviting Barbaresco from La Spinetta. In 2017, the Valeirano is more delicate and less hefty than it can be – which is not a bad thing – although there is plenty of its characteristic tannin to carry the wine and give it energy." 95 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
"There’s real purity of fruit and beauty in this young Barbaresco with strawberry, cherry and light chocolate aromas and flavours. It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy and firm tannins and a pretty finish. Give it two or three years to come together." 94 points - James Suckling
