AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this lot a magnificent original wooden case (OWC - Original Wooden Case) containing 6 bottles of 0.75L Barbaresco Vürsù Vigneto Valeirano 2016 from the renowned winery La Spinetta (Giorgio Rivetti). Coming 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 skillfully balanced by extraordinary mineral freshness. The 2016 vintage is universally recognized by international critics as one of the wines of the century 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 vats; aging for about 20-22 months in French oak barriques (predominantly 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, sour 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, smooth tannins. Critics' Scores (Vintage 2016): Vinous (Antonio Galloni): 96/100, Robert Parker (Wine Advocate): 95+/100, James Suckling: 96/100. Aging potential: 2024 – 2045+
