Note di degustazione
The 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Vigneto Starderi (Magnum) is rich, deep and explosive. The Starderi is another wine that has aged exceptionally well. Like its stable mates, the Starderi bears the strong imprint of the era. Dark cherry, plum, rose petal, mocha and new oak saturate the palate, framed by huge tannins that give the Starderi its explosive personality.

Dark in color and rich in appearance, the 2011 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù is another gorgeous rendition in the La Spinetta Vürsù line. Vürsù is locale dialect for something that is "greatly desired." And great desire is something you definitely feel when faced with a glass of this stunning wine. This is a rich and sturdy, but beautifully balanced expression that does not hold back in terms of intensity or opulence. Yet the wine never goes overboard. Giorgio Rivetti has produced fantastic results in the 2011 vintage.
The 2011 Barbaresco Starderi is just as gorgeous today as it was the last time I tasted it, about a year ago. Dark raspberries, plums, cinnamon, wild flowers and rose petals meld together nicely in the glass. The 2011 is deep, pliant and expressive, with lovely depth and plenty of texture. Power and intensity are the signatures of Starderi, but in this vintage the wine leans more towards the weightless end of the spectrum.
Good medium red. Sexy aromas of red berries and spices. Juicy and precise on the palate, with sweet red berry flavors firmed by a mineral element and lifted by a minty high note. Tightly wound but nicely sweet on the finish. Lovely mineral tension here, and plenty of underlying richness too.
