Barbaresco Bordini•2021

In 2021, La Spinetta Barbaresco Bordini shows a generous, almost velvety side of Nebbiolo, layering rose and violet tones over ripe cherry, raspberry and a touch of milk chocolate and cedar. The palate is sleek but substantial, with concentrated fruit, balsamic-tinged freshness and mineral drive framed by firm, persistent tannins that turn silky as they stretch out on a long finish. This is a voluptuous yet well-balanced Bordini that clearly benefits from the warmth and ripeness of the vintage while retaining Barbaresco’s precision and lift.
