About this Wine:
The La Spinetta estate has produced a vast array of great wines expressing an inimitable approachability and robust style. The Barbaresco Bordini opens to an ample perfume of Nebbiolo aromas spanning from cherry to plum, to spicy licorice with raspberry and rose nuances. Red fruit flavours are well integrated with a solid, mid-weight palate. The wine is lengthy on the palate thanks to the density and quality of its texture, making for an elegant and moorish expression. (Langtons)

La Spinetta is a relative newcomer for Piedmont being founded only 43 years ago! The vineyards all possess a bit of age (35 - 65yrs) and all sites are amongst the best locations of their respective appellations.

"Year after year Giorgio Rivetti's Piedmont winery has earned a fame that has made it a leading ambassador of Langhe wine thro ughout the world, and the labels with the rhinoceros are present in the finest restaurants on all continents."Gambero Rosso
