The La Spinetta 2019 Barolo Garretti opens to a crisp, almost tart quality with red fruit, cassis, pomegranate and a hint of red apple. Those bright primary tones cede to spice and earthy mineral or baked clay. The wine is distinguished by a pretty hint of licorice root that cuts a line throughout the entire bouquet. The 2019 vintage shows extra finesse and structure to the palate. This is a 10,000-bottle release.

Elegant and refined, offering cherry, raspberry, eucalyptus and grassy flavors. Firms up nicely on the lingering finish, yet should be ready to enjoy in 3 to 5 years. Best from 2025 through 2040. 900 cases made, 85 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The La Spinetta 2018 Barolo Garretti is underlined by a dark and savory quality that appears throughout this experience. Blackberry and dried cherry give the wine solid grounding and a long-lasting taste profile. Those dark fruit tones are amply surrounded by spice, toasted hazelnut and black truffle.

With a lion on its front label to represent Barolo, the "King of Wines," the La Spinetta 2017 Barolo Garretti is a wine of depth, dark fruit and concentration. This vintage delivers power and lots of momentum that you feel in the weight of the fruit, the aromatic intensity and the structure. The wine's alcohol measures 14.5%, and that, too, contributes to the overall brawn and muscle. This 10,000-bottle production appears very youthful and still nervous, so put it aside in your cellar for best results.
