Notes of the Winemaker
Intense, vibrant ruby red. Aromas of wild cherry, graphite, smoke and leather. The palate is powerful and imposing in the glass, with tremendous textural richness, everything seems amped up in the 2015; aromatics, fruit and acidity.

La Spinetta, Piedmont - Barbaresco Starderi
95 Points- RobertParker.com

"The 2016 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù starts with a no-nonsense obscure color and ends with lots of dark fruit on the close. In between, it shows a spot of bitterness on the tongue, delivered with ripe fruit and some rather tight tannins. There are lots of tar notes here too, along with the sort of resin and camphor ash you might not have been expecting from such a youthful Barbaresco. But this one has a heavy center of gravity and is not to be trifled with. It's a big and bold wine that demands a rare cut of beef." Robert Parker
