La Spinetta Barbaresco Starderi 2015

General Information

Dense red wild cherry colored. Minerals and an exotic whiff of peach elegant on the nose. Refined and translucent, the 2015 possesses remarkable purity and nuance in its red-toned fruit and floral aromatics, bright citrus and floral notes add the closing flourishes. Ideal with grilled food, sauced and elaborate red meat and game.

95 points, Robert Parker' Wine Advocate - The 2015 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù is a wine of towering stature, girth and power. The wine's tannic presence is very evident, and that undeniable structure is broad and underlying. I would suggest putting this bottle aside for at least five more years before popping the cork. The beauty here is that the tannins are integrated and never astringent. Instead, they act like a corset that ties the wine together in all the right places.
