Barolo Cru Campe Vursu La Spinetta 2019 BIO

"The 2011 Barolo Campè Vürsù shows huge balsam intensity with a citrusy twist of candied lemon zest and dried apricot. I liked this wine as much as the 2012 vintage, but for very different reasons. This is a rounder and more exuberant expression that delivers fleshly richness and an important sense of textural heft. You can't mistake this wine for anything other than Nebbiolo from a warm growing season. I had the opportunity to spend some time with Giorgio Rivetti this year at the Campe winery just outside the Grinzane Cavour castle. This gave me the opportunity to taste his fabulous 2005 Riservas from magnum (that will be released later this year in September) and a chance to catch up on some back vintages. La Spinetta is synonymous with one of the most distinctive winemaking styles in the Langhe. The wines are easily identifiable in a blind tasting because, across the board, they offer a uniquely intense aromatic delivery. The bouquets on the 2013 wines are deeply fragrant and fruity; the 2012 vintage is more integrated with spice and tobacco. The 2011 vintage is marked by profound balsam notes of cola, mint and medicinal herbs. These are extremely personalized wines."
