La Spinetta Valeirano vineyard Barbaresco comes from a 3 hectare vineyard Tresio. The vines are 45-51 years old and grow on calcareous soil at 450 meters above sea level, at a southern exposure. Harvest usually happens in the first or second week in October, after which time, the grapes are fermented in rotofermenters for 7 to 8 days. The wine then ages for 20-22 months in new, medium toasted, French oak barrique. Valeirano Barbaresco is then aged for another year in bottle before its release. The wine is not filtered or fined.

An elegant style, this delivers cherry, strawberry, tar and underbrush flavors. Firm and compact on the taut, fresh finish. Best from 2020 through 2030. 1,100 cases made.

Dill, crushed herb, oak, toast and balsamic aromas emerge in the glass as this wine opens. Its firm palate offers dried cherry, licorice and espresso flavors framed by close-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. It has structure but lacks fruit richness.
