The 2021 La Spinetta Barbaresco Valeirano is a remarkable single-vineyard Barbaresco from the renowned Valeirano cru in Treiso, one of the highest and most distinctive sites in the Barbaresco appellation. Produced by the acclaimed La Spinetta estate, this wine combines intensity and elegance, offering complex aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals and blood orange, layered with notes of spice, dried herbs and subtle mineral nuances.
On the palate, it is powerful yet beautifully refined, with vibrant acidity and finely structured tannins supporting flavours of sour cherry, red plum and savoury spice. The elevated vineyard site contributes freshness and precision, while the texture remains concentrated and seamless through to a long, dry finish with exceptional depth and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barbaresco for collectors and Nebbiolo enthusiasts seeking a serious single-vineyard expression with exceptional ageing potential. 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.
