La Spinetta
Vigneto Garretti Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Aggressively tannic, even 3 days after opening. I’d wait about 10 more years on this one 😂

Beautiful 2009 Vigneto Garretti Barolo from La Spinetta this should get more interesting with more time in the cellar

Hadn’t opened one of these since late 2019. Super. Refined, smooth almost dusty, violets, light light tar, soft cherry, integrated tannins into a nice finish.

2019 vintage. Very dry, dusty and lacking fruit or balance currently. Needs about two days open or 12-15 years to come around. Ain't got that kinda time. 3.27.24.

Quite bright ruby red , white garnet rim . Sweet cherry , floral, cedar , very fruit forward . On the palate quite fruit forward again with nice cherry and strawberry , with spiced orange peel . Sweet but quite noticeable tannin , ok acidity . Ok length , enjoyable now and over the next 10 years or so .
