La Spinetta Barbaresco DOCG Vigna Gallina 2021 75cl

From La Spinetta, Barbaresco DOCG Vigna Gallina 2021 is a Nebbiolo from Barbaresco with notable concentration and poise. The 2021 vintage shows deep yet transparent red colour, combining savoury complexity with refined texture in a style that already drinks beautifully and also has the structure to develop further with time.

Aromas move through rose hip, cider apple, roasted chestnut, leather, woodsmoke, fenugreek, curry plant and a hint of tar. In the mouth, it is warm and rich, with beautiful succulence and a polished, velvety tannic texture that gives an impression of maturity. An impressive bottle for the table now, with the capacity to keep for a decade or longer.
