“Red Fruit, Complex, Powerful”
This Barolo from one of Italy’s most fashionable winemakers displays intense aromas of red and black fruits such as red cherry and black plum, dried flowers, tobacco, leather and spice. The palate is powerful and complex, providing very generous flavour intensity of red fruits, cinnamon and a touch of leather. A young yet fantastic Barolo with long finish. For powerful wine lovers!

94 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"This entry-level Barolo is made with fruit from the younger vines from the Garretti cru in Grinzane Cavour, in the comune where La Spinetta has its ultra modern winery. The 2016 Barolo Vigneto Garretti offers a generous and accessible personality that makes this wine optimal for near or medium-term drinking. The bouquet is layered and rich with dark fruit, licorice, tar and toasted aniseed. The tannins are nicely managed in this vintage, showing both power and elegance."
“One of Italy’s most fashionable winemakers/proprietors, Giorgio Rivetti displays a masterful touch whether he is making Barbera, Moscato d’Asti, or his proprietary red wine Pin."－Robert Parker
"Giorgio Rivetti, owner and winemaker of La Spinetta in Barbaresco, has become one of the leading forces in Piedmont. He's making exciting ripe, fruit-forward Nebbiolos that would give many highly rated New World wines a run for their money. Now he's making waves in Barolo.... Rivetti is first and foremost a winemaker--one of the best and most innovative winemakers in Piedmont today. But he is also in tune with today's consumer, whom he believes shares his preference for wines that are more approachable on release." - The Wine Spectator
