Description
The 2017 La Spinetta Barolo Garretti is a ruby red in appearance. The nose displays hints of ripe plum with subtle accents of roses. Full-bodied and intense with a pleasant continuation on the palate, upholding a fruity texture.
Pair this wine alongside stewed pheasant, Poached eggs with Raschera fondue and Alba white truffles.

Lots of dried roses with stems to the strawberry and cherry character. It’s full-bodied and chewy with lots of fruit and wood tannins that pucker your mouth now. But it should come around nicely with bottle age. Try after 2023.

Garretti is located in the northeastern-most commune of Barolo, of Grinzane Cavour. The 2017 Barolo Garretti is savory with licorice, tobacco, plum pit, and cedar. The palate is round, with notes of ripe black cherry, forest floor, and cinnamon spice, and full structure that is gripping, though balanced. Drink 2024-2036.

The 2017 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is gracious and nicely lifted right out of the gate. Sweet floral notes and red berry fruit give the 2017 tons of immediacy. This mid-weight, perfumed Barolo from La Spinetta will drink well right out of the gate. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so.
