La Spinetta Barbaresco Bordini 2018 is a very nuanced and streamlined expression. It opens softly to present aromas of red and purple currants. The elegance of the wine comes out, thanks to the subtle mineral tones of crushed limestone and dry earth that lift so delicately from the bouquet. The La Spinetta house style is normally richer and more concentrated, and this cool vintage comes as a nice surprise.

Notes
100% Nebbiolo from the Bordini site, 240m high in the village of Neive in the Barbaresco production zone. It’s a 4.5-hectare south-facing site at 240m elevation on calcareous soils, and the vines have an average age 40 years. The site is sustainably farmed with no use of chemical herbicides or pesticides. The fruit undergoes maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for an average period of 14 days. Malolactic conversion takes place in French oak barrels, followed by 16 months of aging. It is then bottle-aged for about six months. It’s light ruby red in colour, with hints of redcurrant, peaches in syrup and nutmeg. The palate shows great balance between freshness and structure, with notes of small red fruits, ginger and wild fennel. The finish is persistent and broad.
