"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

La Spinetta - Barbaresco Valeirano, Piedmont
***95+ Points- Wine Advocate***

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. …

La Spinetta, Piedmont - Barolo Campè

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.

96/100 - James Suckling
As always, this shows loads of dried flowers and dried peaches and persimmons; it’s a ripe and unique wine. A cascade of tannins follows, enveloping the mouth in chewy sensations from top to bottom, flanked in dried-berry flavors. Full-bodied and dense, but agile and inviting. Drink from 2026.

Franco Massolino has a new release he is especially proud to present. In 1982, his grandfather Giuseppe made his first vintage of the Barolo Vigna Rionda; forty years later, the family are celebrating with the 2016 Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva packaged with a special black label.

Vigna Rionda.. A very particular place for Barolo, which expresses something special, visceral and overwhelming.
Finding a rational explanation for what makes Vigna Rionda such a special Barolo is impossible. What are the characteristics of Vigna Rionda? Which microelements, which soil composition, which inclination of the ridge give the wine its unique expression?

Seriously deep and resonant, with palate staining richness that moves from blackcurrant to plum, then to chocolate and cherry on an exceptionally long finish.
