Tasting Notes
Color: Intense, brilliant ruby red with garnet highlights.
Nose: Expansive and seductive. Ripe red fruits—such as plum, cherry, and raspberry coulis—dominate, followed by refined spicy notes of vanilla, cedarwood, tobacco, and tar, along with a balsamic/mineral nuance.
Palate: Muscular, full-bodied, and concentrated. It opens with an enveloping feel, supported by vibrant acidity and polished yet well-structured tannins, leading to a very long, fresh, and persistent finish.
Winery Information (La Spinetta): Founded in 1977 by the Rivetti family in Castagnole Lanze, La Spinetta is now led by Giorgio Rivetti with an innovative vision. The estate—famous for its label featuring Albrecht Dürer’s renowned rhinoceros—bases its production on low vineyard yields, sustainable farming, and minimal intervention in the cellar (no fining or filtration).
The Starderi cru is located in the municipality of Neive; south-facing at an altitude of approximately 270 meters above sea level, it benefits from a warmer microclimate than other crus and from calcareous-clay soil that imparts distinctive structure, power, and longevity to the wine.
