La Spinetta Vursu Barolo Campe 2020

The 2020 La Spinetta Barolo Campè Vürsù is a majestic and highly approachable expression from a vintage noted for its beautifully open-knit personality. Sourced from 70-year-old vines in the prestigious Campè vineyard in Grinzane Cavour, it offers an elegant bouquet of small red berries, rose petals, jasmine, and graphite. On the palate, the wine is precise and structured, showcasing a dark fruit core with smoky layers of campfire ash, flinty stone, and blueberry jam. Despite its power, the 2020 vintage is praised for its "easy-to-drink" nature at a young age, featuring fine-grained, powdery tannins and a wide, persistent finish.

95 Points - James Suckling

Rich and inviting Barolo with notes of peach pits, sandalwood, red cherries, sweet basil and potpourri. It’s full-bodied and encompassing with fine-grained, powdery tannins. Powerful fruit. Try from 2027.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The La Spinetta 2020 Barolo Campè Vürsù depicts a lion on the label that represents the "king of wines, the wine of kings" as Barolo is often described. It has a dark core of fruit with smoky layers of campfire ash and flinty stone. The definition is medium-sharp and the wine reveals a darkly concentrated appearance. The bouquet is still a little closed at this young stage and in need of a more cellaring.

94 Points - Wine Spectator

Rose, cherry and pomegranate flavors are framed with juniper, eucalyptus, spice and iron notes in this elegant yet intense red. Firmly structured and builds nicely to the long, complex aftertaste. Best from 2028 through 2042.
