2015 La Spinetta Barolo Campè

100% Nebbiolo from Campe the vineyard surrounding La Spinetta’s winery in Grinzane Cavour. It’s a 3.5ha south-facing site on calcareous soils, and the vines have an average age of about 55 years. It’s farmed sustainably, with no chemical hebicides or pesticides. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled rotofermenters and lasts between six and seven days. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak, where the wine is aged for 24 months. From these new, medium-toast French oak vessels it’s transferred to stainless steel vats for nine months before bottling with no fining or filtration. It then rests in bottle for 12 months before release four years after the harvest.
