Note di degustazione
The spectacular 2012 Barbaresco Valeirano Vürsù is bursting with vibrant fruit and a lingering sense of elegance. The wine opens to a medium garnet color and focused precision. The aromas are not as intense as in other vintages, but this Barbaresco certainly leaves its aromatic mark nonetheless. La Spinetta's wines are never muted or subtle. They always seem to travel in fifth gear and that's what makes them so irresistible.

Dark red cherries, spices, menthol, anise and mint are some of the signatures in La Spinetta 2012 Barbaresco Vigneto Valeirano. The aromatics are piercing, while the typically vibrant Valeirano tannins give the wine its sense of energy and proportion. Sinewy and persistent, with lovely freshness for the year, the Valeirano is another strong wine from La Spinetta. As always, the Valeirano is the most austere of the Spinetta Barbarescos. In 2012, that actually helps give the wine an extra kick of freshness.
Light color. Delicate, refined aromas of chocolate, cedar and sandalwood. Medium body with firm, silky tannins and a fresh finish, but chewy and structured. Curious wine. Drink now.
