La Spinetta Barbaresco Bordini 2023

La Spinetta’s Barbaresco Bordini is a polished, organic Nebbiolo that captures the elegance and structure Piedmont is famous for. Coming from the historic Barbaresco zone and crafted by the Rivetti family, it offers the kind of depth, precision, and sense of place that have made La Spinetta one of Italy’s most admired names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale ruby-red hue typical of refined Nebbiolo. The nose opens with red currants, peaches in syrup, and a touch of nutmeg, leading into a palate of small red berries, ginger, and wild fennel. The wine is beautifully balanced, combining freshness with firm structure and a long, wide finish that lingers with savory spice and lifted fruit. While already expressive, it should also develop gracefully over time, gaining additional nuance and complexity with a few years in bottle.

Production
Made from 100% Nebbiolo and certified organic, this Barbaresco comes from the Bordini site in Piedmont, an area known for producing wines with finesse, aromatic detail, and age-worthy tannins. The grapes undergo maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks for around 14 days, helping preserve purity of fruit and precision. The wine is then matured for 16 months in French oak barrels, with second-passage use to support structure without overwhelming the varietal character, followed by 6 months of bottle aging before release.

Food & Serving
This Barbaresco is a natural match for truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, braised veal, roast duck, and aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino. Serve at 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 1-2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and texture to fully open.

Producer
La Spinetta was founded by the Rivetti family and has become one of Piedmont’s most respected producers, known for combining modern precision with deep respect for terroir. Their work in Barbaresco and Barolo has earned international acclaim, and the estate is especially admired for wines that are expressive, structured, and consistently high in quality.
