Description from the seller
La Spinetta "Valeirano" 2018 – Mineral Precision & Elegance
Up for auction is the Barbaresco Vursù Valeirano 2018, the cru that best expresses the mineral and savory side of Neive. While Gallina is about silk and Starderi is about power, Valeirano is defined by character, tension, and verticality. A masterful interpretation by Giorgio Rivetti for a vintage that rewards finesse and aromatic purity.
Critical Acclaim & Scores:
The 2018 Valeirano received outstanding reviews for its precision and structure:
Critic Score
Jeb Dunnuck 96/100
James Suckling 94/100
Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) 94/100
Antonio Galloni (Vinous) 94/100
Wine & Spirits 94/100
Technical Details & Tasting Notes:
Tasting Notes: A complex bouquet of crushed stones, graphite, forest floor, and wild red berries. On the palate, it is vibrant and precise, with sculpted tannins and a long, salty finish that invites another sip.
Aging: Roughly 20–22 months in new French oak barriques, followed by resting in the bottle to achieve perfect harmony.
Condition & Shipping:
Level: Perfect (High Fill).
Label/Capsule: Pristine, like new.
Storage: Professionally stored in a climate-controlled cellar at 14-16°C.
Expert Tip: The 2018 vintage of Valeirano is particularly praised for its immediate approachability compared to older vintages, yet it possesses the structure to age beautifully for the next 15+ years.
