La Spinetta Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina 2004
La Spinetta Colour: Clear garnet red. Nose: Complex, fruity, sweet spices, liquorice and chocolate. Flavour: Concentrated, dark berries, liquorice, sweet tannins which are well balanced with the acidity. Serving suggestions: grilled foood, elaborate meat dishes with sauces and wild game. Wine Spectator Intense aromas of fresh mushroom turn to blackberry and plum, even meadow flowers. Full-bodied, big and soft, with loads of fruit and character. Caresses the palate. Best after 2012. Score: 94. —James Suckling, December 15, 2007.Wine Advocate The 2004 Barbaresco Gallina opens with the hallmark Spinetta super-ripe aromatics. Unlike past recent vintages, it has plenty of stuffing to fill out its frame, with generous sweet fruit, spices, coffee beans and truffles that flow from the glass. It offers outstanding persistence and a long, caressing finish, even if it isn’t as vibrant as the estate’s other 2004 Barbarescos. It should be the first wine of these 2004 Barbarescos to reach maturity. This is a terrific effort from Rivetti. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016. Score: 92. —Antonio Galloni, October 2007.Customers who purchased this item also bought:
