Description
Join us Thursday, November 12th at 6:30 for a tasting of Piedmont reds from La Spinetta with owner/winemaker Giorgio Rivetti. Giorgio has become one of the leading forces in Piedmont. Rivetti is first and foremost a winemaker—one of the best and most innovative winemakers in Piedmont today–but he is also in tune with today’s consumer, whom he believes shares his preference for wines that are more approachable on release than has historically been the case with Barolo and Barbaresco. These are three very exciting wines and Giorgio is extremely informative and entertaining.
Thursday's tasting will include these three wines, tasted in this order:
2016 La Spinetta Barbera d'Asti Ca di Pian, $19.99
A bold wine that offers generous fruit but then it pulls back with care to show elegance and complexity. The vibrant character of the fruit shines bright, as does the softness and textural richness of this vintage. Dried plum, blackberry, and sweet cherry are backed by baking spice, tilled earth, and cedarwood.
An elegant and polished wine with a deep sense of persistence and length. The wine delivers a tight embroidery of aromas that span from dark fruit to spice to ethereal notes of balsam herb and cola. It runs the full spectrum. That feeling of wholeness and balance is also evident in the mouth. This Barbaresco reaches an impeccable balance between its solid fruit flavors, its acidity, and the determined firmness of its structure.
Made with fruit from the younger vines from the Garretti cru in Grinzane Cavour, in the commune where La Spinetta has its ultra-modern winery. The 2016 Barolo Vigneto Garretti offers a generous and accessible personality that makes this wine optimal for near or medium-term drinking. The bouquet is layered and rich with dark fruit, licorice, tar, and toasted aniseed. The tannins are nicely managed in this vintage, showing both power and elegance.
