WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
A pale ruby red in color, the 2020 La Spinetta Barolo Garretti offers aromas of ripe red fruits, cinnamon and hydrangea. Fresh and silky, with elegant pomegranate and nutmeg notes on the palate. The finish is complex and generous.
TASTING NOTES:
This has lovely ripe fruit, with rich plum and peach fruit on the nose, plus hazelnut, orange and bread crust too. It’s full-bodied, creamy and textured with melt-in-your-mouth tannins. Delicious finish. Try from 2026.

Accessible and subdued, the La Spinetta 2020 Barolo Garretti sources its fruit from the village of Grinzane Cavour. It reveals a medium-rich texture with moderate definition and a mild bouquet layered with black fruits, spice and earth. There's a pretty note of dark maraschino cherry on the finish that hints at the warm growing conditions of the 2020 vintage.
