2020 La Spinetta Vigneto Garretti, Barolo DOCG, Italy (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

TASTING NOTES:

This has lovely ripe fruit, with rich plum and peach fruit on the nose, plus hazelnut, orange and bread crust too. It’s full-bodied, creamy and textured with melt-in-your-mouth tannins. Delicious finish. Try from 2026.

- James Suckling, 94 pts. 

Accessible and subdued, the La Spinetta 2020 Barolo Garretti sources its fruit from the village of Grinzane Cavour. It reveals a medium-rich texture with moderate definition and a mild bouquet layered with black fruits, spice and earth. There's a pretty note of dark maraschino cherry on the finish that hints at the warm growing conditions of the 2020 vintage.
