It is full-bodied and aged in oak barrels; on the palate, it is dry and enveloping, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003edense and velvety tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e. The aromatic profile reveals elegant notes of truffle, plum and spices, while the taste stands out for its pronounced savoury streak. This profound mineral energy lingers in a \u003cstrong\u003every persistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it ideal to accompany game dishes or mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nebbiolo grapes come from the historic \u003cstrong\u003eValeirano vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the municipality of Treiso at about 450 metres above sea level. The plot enjoys a south-west exposure and an alpine climate characterised by temperature variations that ensure a slow and steady ripening of the grapes. The soils are composed of \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay marls\u003c\/strong\u003e of marine origin, enriched with a high percentage of stones and gravel. This specific geological formation gives Barbaresco an elegant finesse and a marked \u003cstrong\u003emineral tension\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with the careful selection of the bunches, harvested in October. Maceration and fermentation take place in rotofermenters at a \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e for about eight days. The process continues with malolactic fermentation and a period in \u003cstrong\u003emedium-toast French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for around twenty to twenty-two months. After a brief period in steel tanks, the wine completes its \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in glass\u003c\/strong\u003e for at least a year. It is neither clarified nor filtered, thus preserving all its complex organoleptic integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the dream of Giovanni Rivetti, \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco Valeirano Vursù\u003c\/strong\u003e represents the excellence of Piedmont from the renowned La Spinetta winery.
