AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
On auction a magnificent original wooden case (OWC - Original Wooden Case) sealed/complete containing 6 bottles of Barbaresco Vürsù Vigneto Valeirano 2016 from the renowned La Spinetta winery (Giorgio Rivetti). Hailing from the Valeirano cru in Treiso (characterized by calcareous soils at high altitude), this Barbaresco embodies La Spinetta's unmistakable style: power, concentration, and extraction deftly balanced by an extraordinary mineral freshness. The 2016 vintage is universally recognized by international critics as one of the century’s vintages in Piedmont, endowed with monumental structure and excellent aging potential. Technical details and tasting notes: Producer: La Spinetta (Castagnole Lanze / Treiso, Italy) Wine: Barbaresco DOCG Vürsù Vigneto Valeirano Vintage: 2016 (Exceptional Vintage / 5 Stars) Format: Original wooden case for 6 bottles (6x0.75 L) Grape: 100% Nebbiolo Vinification and Aging: Fermentation and maceration in rotofermenter tanks; aging for about 20-22 months in French oak barriques (mostly new), followed by 12 months of bottle rest before release. Organoleptic profile: Deep garnet red color. On the nose it develops a complex bouquet of wild plum, black cherry, dried rose petals, leather, dark spices, and balsamic notes. On the palate it is powerful, austere, well-structured, with a deep mineral/savory vein and dense, velvety tannins. Critics’ Scores (2016 Vintage): Vinous (Antonio Galloni): 96/100; Robert Parker (Wine Advocate): 95+/100; James Suckling: 96/100. Aging potential: 2024 – 2045+.
