Sourced from the Starderi cru in the Neive commune of Piedmont, Barbaresco Starderi La Spinetta 2016 is a red wine crafted from Nebbiolo grapes. This vineyard, characterised by its south-facing amphitheatre and blue marl soils, contributes to the wine`s distinct profile. The wine features an alcohol content of 14.5% and has undergone 20 months of ageing in new French oak barriques, with additional bottle maturation. The palate reveals notes of dark plums, violets, and balsamic herbs, presenting a muscular texture that differentiates it from the Valeirano bottling. The finish is dense, showcasing the inherent fruit power and structure typical of the Neive terroir. La Spinetta is known for its modern approach, focusing on well-integrated tannins and polished expressions of Nebbiolo.

The 2016 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi is outrageously beautiful. Dense, powerful and rich, the 2016 races out of the glass with huge fruit to match its classically mid-weight profile. Super-ripe red/purplish berry fruit, wild flowers, licorice and mint play off the huge tannins with real grace. Readers have to be patient, but the 2016 Starderi is a rock star wine. That's pretty much all there is to it.Antonio Galloni1st November 2019

The 2016 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù starts with a no-nonsense obscure color and ends with lots of dark fruit on the close. In between, it shows a spot of bitterness on the tongue, delivered with ripe fruit and some rather tight tannins. There are lots of tar notes here too, along with the sort of resin and camphor ash you might not have been expecting from such a youthful Barbaresco. But this one has a heavy center of gravity and is not to be trifled with. It`s a big and bold wine that demands a rare cut of beef. Some 14,500 bottles were made. - Monica Larner

Neive. Tasted blind. Mid to deep ruby. Aromatic, firm cherry-fruit nose with a certain coolness to it. Bags of fruit and tannins and great acidity. Truly a generous mouthful, but stylish. Can be approached now. (WS)
