The 2004 La Spinetta Barolo Vürsù Vigneto Campè DOCG is an iconic expression of 100 % Nebbiolo from the Campè cru in Grinzane Cavour, Piedmont, produced by La Spinetta Rivetti, a highly respected family estate known for its commitment to quality and meticulous viticulture. (Vürsù is a local Piedmontese term reflecting passion and intention behind the wine.) This vintage displays a deep garnet red colour and reveals an elegant, broad aromatic profile with layers of black and red fruit, rose petal, balsamic herbs, liquorice, earth and Mediterranean scrub, balanced with spice and minerality. On the palate it is powerful, structured and complex — firm tannins and vibrant acidity support intense flavours and a long, persistent finish that reflects both the terroir and extended bottle evolution. Aged traditionally (often ~24 months in French oak) and capable of further aging, this Barolo pairs beautifully with rich meats, game, truffles and aged cheeses and represents the lofty potential of great Nebbiolo from one of Piemonte’s notable crus.
