Tasting Notes: "Valeirano is located within Treiso, where a similar soil content to that of Serralunga d’Alba lends more structure and depth to the wines. The 2018 Barbaresco Valeirano Versu is expressive with tar, black cherry, and licorice. It has a more powerful structure on the palate that remains finessed and compact. Allow for 3-5 years in cellar and drink 2024-2045."- Jeb Dunnuck.
"These 2018 Barbarescos from La Spinetta are just terrific. The 2018 Barbaresco Valeirano Vürsù (with 7,000 bottles made) completes this line with its fruit from the village of Treiso. This wine is less etched and sharp than the others, and it exhibits a rich and more fleshed-out approach with greater volume. There is plenty of dark fruit and shades of cherry, but a lasting impression is made by spice, licorice and balsam herb."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
Varietal: Nebbiolo.
