Tasting notes
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. This is a release of 9,000 bottles.

Grinzane Cavour. Dark maturing ruby with bricky rim. Rich cherry-liqueur nose with hints of sweet oak. Supple and rich and with sweet oak notes. Lacks a little in personality. (WS)
A little more reigned in and reserved at this stage, the 2020 Barolo Campe Vursu is noted with tangerine citrus, spices, pomegranate, and anise. Medium-bodied, it’s mouthwatering out of the gate, with loads of mineral underpinnings, fine-grained but present tannins, and bright acidity. Well balanced and not austere, I like the energy and linear feel this wine has to offer. It’s going to show at its best over the next 10-12 years. Drink 2026-2036.
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.
