Note di degustazione
Moderately saturated medium red. Raspberry and plum aromas are complemented by earth, tobacco and meat, along with a slightly rustic leather nuance. Ripe, sweet and plummy but a bit funky and dry following the 2010 Barbaresco Valeirano, with the leathery note carrying through on the palate. Slightly dry tannins cut off the wine's fruit today. Not particularly primary--or is this in an awkward stage today?

The 2009 Barolo Vigneto Garetti comes from the lowest part of the vineyard. It shows great power and density with fleshy fruit, dried cherry and prune. The mouthfeel is round and dense, supported amply by the firm tannins at the back. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. Giorgio Rivetti has unveiled a stunning line of new wines, and a few surprises as well, from his impeccable winery and tasting room at the foot of the Grinzane Cavour castle. The line of Riserva Barbarescos and Riserva Barolo will only be bottled in magnums in the best vintages. The year 2004 is the inaugural vintage of these special releases. Giorgio purchased a beautiful estate in the Grinzane Cavour estate for making Barolo. His vineyard graces a dome-shaped hill and is planted with 55- to 60-year-old Nebbiolo vines.

La Spinetta's 2009 Barolo Vigneto Garretti bursts from the glass with juicy dark cherries, plums, cinnamon and white truffles, all supported by firm tannins that need a few years to melt away. Smoke, tar and incense add depth and gravitas. Tasted next to the 2009 Bordini, the weight and richness of Barolo is clearly evident in the glass.
