Dark ruby in colour. On the nose it offers aromas of black pepper, blackberry, cassis, coffee, floral notes, tobacco and vanilla. Full-bodied, complex, dry, balanced acidity, strong oak impression, fairly tannic, with a long finish. This vineyard’s soil is very similarly of that found in the Serralunga d’Alba area, which helps produce a supremely elegant and long-lived Barbaresco with great similarity to Barolo.

Press Review
La Spinetta’s 2017 Barbaresco Valeirano is classy, elegant and polished from start to finish. Freshly cut flowers, mint, sweet red berry fruit and blood orange are some of the many notes that grace this super-expressive, inviting Barbaresco from La Spinetta. In 2017, the Valeirano is more delicate and less hefty than it can be – which is not a bad thing – although there is plenty of its characteristic tannin to carry the wine and give it energy. Drink 2025-2037.
Press Review
The 2017 Barbaresco Valeirano Vürsù shows increased focused and brighter high notes compared to the other new releases from La Spinetta. The Valeirano cru is located in Treiso and sees 50- to 60-year-old vines planted at 380 meters above sea level, where they benefit from cool nighttime temperatures in the crucial weeks leading up to harvest. The wine is packed tight with black cherry and blackberry with light shadings of cedar, licorice and spice at the back. These wines from 2017 all tend to show extra tannic intensity, although this expression appears the silkiest of them all.
