"Strawberry, peach and fresh pink rose aromas. Some hibiscus as well. Full-bodied and very layered with gorgeous tannins that are soft and creamy in texture yet compacted and focused. Best after 2028 but already so beautiful to taste."

"The 2021 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi is one of the classiest wines I have tasted from La Spinetta. Vibrant and poised, with striking beauty, the 2021 is wonderfully vivid in the glass. Crushed rose petal, spice, mint, orange peel and cinnamon all soar out of the glass. Brisk acids"

"The organic La Spinetta 2021 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù is a very pretty wine, and I prefer it to the Gallina and the Valeriano. It stands out for its medium-rich density and spicy concentration with layers of dark fruit and blackberry preserves. The quality of the fruit is very dense and rich, and the wine offers sharp definition. With time, it develops a dark, smoky side with cumin and barbecue spice. This is a release of 14,000 bottles."

"A mix of savory and fruity, this red embraces rose hip, cherry, raspberry, juniper, eucalyptus and iron flavors in its silky texture. Well-structured, too, yet overall expresses finesse, with a terrific, persistent aftertaste. Shows impressive harmony and complexity. Best from 2027 through 2043. —B.S."
