La Spinetta's 2008 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is a great Langhe classic, a Barolo that combines intensity, elegance, and an extraordinary capacity for evolution. Made from the Garretti cru in Grinzane Cavour, one of the area's most prestigious vineyards, this wine perfectly represents the Rivetti family's unmistakable style: controlled power, aromatic precision, and a use of oak that enhances the Nebbiolo without overpowering it.
The 2008 vintage, considered one of the most balanced and long-lived in recent decades, offers a deep and complex aromatic profile: dried rose, ripe cherry, licorice, dark spices, tobacco, and balsamic notes, with a touch of minerality that adds depth. On the palate, it is rich and structured, with dense yet perfectly integrated tannins and a long, elegant, and persistent finish.
An ideal Barolo for enthusiasts and collectors, already in splendid form but still capable of magnificently evolving.
