2008 vintage.
15 years old and still holding a deep ruby colour.
Very perfumed nose with black flowers, tar, licorice and vanillin.
Plum, porcini mushroom, dark cherry and sweet spice.
A silky texture and the tannins are still very astringent but caressing.
This wine spent 22 months in medium toast French oak.
I made mushroom and leek risotto with black truffles for dinner with this wine.
I was lucky to meet Giorgio Rivetti in 2004 at a Somm tasting that opened my eyes to La Spinetta wines….whether in Piedmont or Tuscany.
