Nebbiolo form Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy

Winemaker Note

Light ruby red. The bouquet has hints of wild strawberry, nectarine and cinnamon. Full-bodied and round, ginger and green tea notes shaping soft yet decisive tannins. The finish is full and precise.

Wine Advocate – 93 Points

The La Spinetta 2020 Barbaresco Bordini (with 10,000 bottles made) has a spicy note on first nose that recalls cinnamon and a touch of something darker like crushed clove. This warm-vintage expression of Nebbiolo embraces rich fruit aromas of blackberry and dark currant, and there is an earthy side with rusty nail and potting soil. It closes with high-toned accents of balsam herb or eucalyptus oil.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with tagliatelle with rabbit ragù and caciucco (Italian fish stew).
