Description
92/100 - Vinous
The 2016 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is bold, racy and super-expressive. Succulent dark cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, red flowers, licorice, and French oak all meld together in this creamy, racy wine form La Spinetta. The Garretti captures all of the richness and pedigree of the year in a forward, succulent style that is sure to find many admires. This is an especially strong vintage for this wine, though it needs another year in bottle for the big tannins to soften. I won't be surprised if the 2016 truns out to be even better than this note sugguests; today it is absolutely delicious.
La Spinetta is one Piedmont’s iconic modern wineries having forged an enviable reputation over the last two decades. La Spinetta was founded in 1977 by Giuseppe Rivetti who established the original winery at Castagnole Lanze. Since then it is the second generation, spearheaded by Giorgio Rivetti, that has put La Spinetta on the map with the development of vineyards and estates, talented winemaking and an endless desire to try new things.
La Spinetta started in 1977 but its modern reputation was made in 1995 with the introduction of La Spinetta’s now famous Barbaresco (Gallina). In 2000 La Spinetta bought land in Barolo and set up a brand new winery to produce their Campè Barolo.
The Rivetti family believes passionately in the exclusive use of indigenous grapes and in a style that is individual and distinct from what they see as a globalisation of character and taste. They believe in intensive vineyard work, very low yields (17-20 hl/ha), no use of chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers, extensive green harvesting, and in extremely carefully chosen vineyards.
