"This has lovely ripe fruit, with rich plum and peach fruit on the nose, plus hazelnut, orange and bread crust too. It's full-bodied, creamy and textured with melt-in-your-mouth tannins. Delicious finish. Try from 2026."

"The 2020 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is a plump, juicy Barolo that will delight La Spinetta fans. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit, herbs, flowers, vanillin and sweet oak makes a strong first impression. Soft contours add immediacy and charm. The 2020 is very nicely done. Even so, I would like to see less new wood. The wine doesn't need it, and Barolos like this are increasingly outliers."
