Note di degustazione
Like La Spinetta's other wines from this vintage, the 2011 Barolo Vigneto Garretti opens to pretty balsam or medicinal herb aromas with eucalyptus oil, mint, dried ginger and cherry cola. These aromas give the wine a bright and buoyant sense of weightlessness. After a few minutes, heavier aromas of spice, toasted nut and tobacco begin to appear. The mouthfeel is firm and silky.

The 2011 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is heavily marked by sweet oak today, while the fruit is pushed into the background. Floral and spice notes emerge on the delicate finish, but only with great reluctance. Given the wine's mid-weight structure, I don't think the oak will ever fully integrate.
La Spinetta's 2011 Barolo Garretti is soft, sensual and inviting. Sweet red berries, raspberries, flowers, mint and spices are all laced together in a supple, silky Barolo with tons of near-term appeal. The Garretti has more than enough depth - and the barrels are neutral - for the purity of the fruit to come through loud and clear. The Garretti emerges from the lower slopes of La Spinetta's estate vineyard in Grinzane Cavour.
