The 2021 La Spinetta Barbaresco Starderi is a powerful and highly regarded single-vineyard Barbaresco from the celebrated Starderi cru in Neive. Produced by the renowned La Spinetta estate, this flagship Nebbiolo is known for its concentration, structure and remarkable ageing potential. Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals and blood orange are layered with notes of spice, dried herbs, liquorice and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is rich and beautifully structured, with vibrant acidity and finely woven tannins supporting flavours of sour cherry, red plum and savoury spice. The texture is concentrated yet remarkably refined, leading to a long, dry finish with exceptional depth, balance and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barbaresco for collectors and serious Nebbiolo enthusiasts seeking one of La Spinetta's most celebrated vineyard expressions. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar over the next 15–20 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with truffle dishes, braised beef, roast duck, game meats and aged hard cheeses.
