La Spinona 2012 Bricco Faset (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Bricco Faset
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: La Spinona / Barbaresco

This classically crafted wine opens with earthy aromas of rose, violet, leather and a whiff of game while the juicy palate offers black cherry, cinnamon and star anise. Chewy tannins provide support. It’s already approachable but will continue to drink well over the next several years. Drink through 2022.
