Tasting notes
(made from young vines in Starderi; bottled in March of this year; aged entirely in barriques, just 5% new): Medium red. Complex nose melds plum, redcurrant, raspberry, tobacco, sage and smoked meat, plus a flinty element. Quite primary but already nuanced, showing an attractive juicy quality to its red fruit and leather flavors. Finishes with substantial firm but sweet tannins and noteworthy persistence. An excellent nebbiolo bottling and a good example of its vintage.

Readers who want to get a glimpse of the vintage, should check out La Spinetta's 2010 Langhe Nebbiolo. A silky, polished wine, the 2010 impresses for its balance and pure class. Sweet red berries, new leather, spices and mint all resonate on the open-knit finish.
