Crafted by la Spinetta, Barbaresco Valeirano 2016 is sourced from the high-altitude vineyard of Valeirano in Treiso, situated at 450 metres above sea level. Winemaker Giorgio Rivetti employed carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes to produce a wine with 14.5% alcohol, following malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. The resulting profile showcases notes of pomegranate, dried orange peel, and tea leaves, complemented by a distinct minerality and chalky tannins. This vintage exemplifies the tension between the dynamism of Rivetti’s style and the inherent austerity of the Valeirano cru, illustrating a nuanced blend of floral aromas and a sturdy structural foundation.

The 2016 Barbaresco Vigneto Valeirano is the most refined wine I have tasted from this site in Treiso. The tannins, always forbidding in Valeirano, are wonderfully polished, and yet convey the essential feeling of structure that is such a central part of what makes Barbaresco so compelling as a wine. Dark wild cherry, incense, graphite, spice and dried flowers add shades of dimension to this virile, potent Barbaresco that captures the essence of this site, but with an added touch of sophistication that is quite welcome. I can't wait to see how the 2016 ages. In a word: Superb! Antonio Galloni1st November 2019
