La Spinetta, Piedmont - Barolo Campè

Notes of the Winemaker
Intense, vibrant ruby red. Aromas of wild cherry, graphite, smoke and leather. The palate is powerful and imposing in the glass, with tremendous textural richness, everything seems amped up in the 2015; aromatics, fruit and acidity.

96/100 - James Suckling
As always, this shows loads of dried flowers and dried peaches and persimmons; it’s a ripe and unique wine. A cascade of tannins follows, enveloping the mouth in chewy sensations from top to bottom, flanked in dried-berry flavors. Full-bodied and dense, but agile and inviting. Drink from 2026.


La Spinetta is one Piedmont’s iconic modern wineries having forged an enviable reputation over the last two decades. …

92/100 - Vinous
The 2016 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is bold, racy and super-expressive. Succulent dark cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, red flowers, licorice, and French oak all meld together in this creamy, racy wine form La Spinetta. The Garretti captures all of the richness and pedigree of the year in a forward, succulent style that is sure to find many admires. This is an especially strong vintage for this wine, though it needs another year in bottle for the big tannins to soften.

La Spinetta, Piedmont - Barbaresco Starderi
95 Points- RobertParker.com

"The 2016 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù starts with a no-nonsense obscure color and ends with lots of dark fruit on the close. In between, it shows a spot of bitterness on the tongue, delivered with ripe fruit and some rather tight tannins. There are lots of tar notes here too, along with the sort of resin and camphor ash you might not have been expecting from such a youthful Barbaresco. But this one has a heavy center of gravity and is not to be trifled with. It's a big and bold wine that demands a rare cut of beef." Robert Parker

Massolino, Barolo Piedmont - Riserva Vigna Rionda
***98/100 Wine Spectator***
***97 Points- Wine Advocate***

Franco Massolino has a new release he is especially proud to present. In 1982, his grandfather Giuseppe made his first vintage of the Barolo Vigna Rionda; forty years later, the family are celebrating with the 2016 Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva packaged with a special black label.

Vigna Rionda.. A very particular place for Barolo, which expresses something special, visceral and overwhelming.
Finding a rational explanation for what makes Vigna Rionda such a special Barolo is impossible. What are the characteristics of Vigna Rionda? Which microelements, which soil composition, which inclination of the ridge give the wine its unique expression?
There is no single answer, …

This 2016 Vintage Port Wine from Dirk Niepoort has bucked the trend by not offering a 'Standard' 2016 Vintage Port. He has chosen to release a 2016 Niepoort Bioma Vinha Velha. This is his single vineyard release from his ancient and emblematic Pisca vineyard.
