Deep - yet transparent - red. Fantastically concentrated fruit and savoury aromas: rose hip, cider apple, roasted chestnut, leather, woodsmoke, fenugreek, curry plant and just a hint of the tar character, for which Nebbiolo is well-known. How is it than when your mouth encloses a sip of this wine, that its warm richness seems to surround your entire being? A wonder! Beautiful succulence and refinement of texture, giving the impression of maturity, since the tannin is so exquisitely velvety. Extremely impressive, this could be kept a decade or longer, however it is rather delicious already.

Press Review
" A beautiful, focused red with intensity and brilliance, showing cherry, watermelon, truffle and mushroom aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and refined. Long finish. Try after 2023. "
Press Review
" La Spinetta's 2017 Barbaresco Gallina Vürsù draws its fruit from a site in Neive with old vines. Intensity and richness are two qualities often associated with the wine made at this historic estate. A rotofermenter is used during winemaking to increase color concentration and richness, although its use is carefully measured and calculated says Giorgio Rivetti. The house style embraces barrique aging, and you get some soft spice and spent ember as a result. The 2017 vintage is distinguished by extra tightness, and you sense that in this wine. "
Winemaking
In the early 1800s the grandfather Giuseppe Rivetti, whose nickname was Pin, emigrated to Argentina from Neive. Once he returned in Piedmont he founded the family winery and brought his children up in Castagnole Lanze to be dedicated and expert winegrowers. Harvesting takes place from the beginning of Octoberr. Maceration and fermentation lasts 7-8 days in temperature controlled horizontal fermentation tanks. Malolactic fermentation and the refining process take place in new French barriques, for approximately 20-22 months. Fining and filtration is not carried out. The wine is then released 3 months later, once it has settled in the bottle.
