"Lots of rose petals and botanicals on the nose with cherries and dried peaches. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that are juicy and plush. Flavorful and very long. Lots going on here. Very solid and crisp. Drink in four or five years. Best after 2027."

"The 2021 Barbaresco Vigneto Valeirano is a complex, dynamic wine that captures all the presence of Treiso. This fruit is picked a bit riper, needed to soften the tannins, so the flavor profile is a bit racier. Even so, I am drawn to the wine's complexity, nuance and detail. It's a gorgeous wine."

"In the bottle with the rhinoceros and the blue label, the organic La Spinetta 2021 Barbaresco Valeirano Vürsù is a full-bodied expression of Nebbiolo with good definition and a medium-rich texture. You get dark fruit, spice, fragrant tea leaf and hints of cured meat. It ages in barrique for 20 to 22 months, depending on the vintage. Altogether, I'd say the oak is nicely integrated in this wine, although its imprint does remain evident. Production is 7,000 bottles."

"This red reveals tension between its savory elements of eucalyptus, juniper and balsam and its raspberry and boysenberry fruit. There's also a tight-grained feel, compounded by a touch of new oak and accompanying spices. Shows fine balance and length. Best from 2027 through 2042. 550 cases made, 183 cases imported."
