The Barbaresco DOCG Starderi 2022 by
La Spinetta is a classic
Piedmont red wine that beautifully showcases the outstanding quality and structure of Nebbiolo from the renowned
single-vineyard cru Starderi in Neive. Starderi is one of the most respected sites in the Barbaresco area, defined by limestone- and clay-rich soils, a south-west exposure, and
old vines averaging over 50 years of age—factors that give the wine depth, balance, and impressive ageing potential. Starderi is part of La Spinetta’s core collection, produced by one of Piedmont’s most highly regarded families, known for crafting Barbaresco with meticulous care and a refined, Burgundy-inspired sense of precision.
The Nebbiolo grape shows here in an intense ruby red colour with subtle garnet reflections, highlighting both youth and concentration. On the nose, it reveals a layered and expressive bouquet with fresh, precise aromas of red berries, wild raspberry, cherry and delicate floral notes, supported by balsamic hints, violet tones and a subtle herbal spice. On the palate, Starderi 2022 combines vibrant acidity with finely structured, ripe tannins, delivering both elegance and depth. The fruit remains at the centre, accompanied by mineral nuances and refined spice, leading into a long, harmonious finish where fruit and structure come together seamlessly.
Barbaresco Starderi 2022 is a wine with great promise:
powerful and complex, yet beautifully balanced—an authentic expression of its origin, with the ability to age gracefully over many years.
