La Spinetta Barolo Campe Vursu 2017

Spinetta Barolo Campè is a powerful, elegant, and complex red wine. It boasts the DOCG designation. The Campè produced by the La Spinetta winery is a collector’s item, an investment bottle, or one suitable for those who wish to indulge in the luxury of an unforgettable red. La Spinetta is among the most important wineries in Piedmont for both Barolo and Barbaresco. It was founded in 1977, when Giuseppe Rivetti moved to the Castagnole Lanze hill, known as La Spinetta. Today, the business is superbly managed by the Rivetti heirs, extends across 100 hectares of vineyards, and has expanded as far as Tuscany. The Barolo “Campè” is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, a wonderful native grape from the small town of Grinzane Cavour in Piedmont. These vines are between 40 and 65 years old and possess excellent vigor thanks to their favorable southern, southeast, and southwest exposure, as well as their location on calcareous soil 280 meters above sea level. The grapes used to make Barolo Campè ferment in stainless steel with maceration on the skins for approximately 7-8 days, while the wine is aged in medium-toasted barriques for 22-24 months. Bottling is carried out without filtration or fining. The result is a ruby-colored red wine with a powerful, engaging body. The Spinetta Barolo Campè is a bottle that belongs on the list of great labels that wine enthusiasts must taste at least once in their lifetime.
