94 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The La Spinetta 2019 Barolo Garretti opens to a crisp, almost tart quality with red fruit, cassis, pomegranate and a hint of red apple. Those bright primary tones cede to spice and earthy mineral or baked clay. The wine is distinguished by a pretty hint of licorice root that cuts a line throughout the entire bouquet. The 2019 vintage shows extra finesse and structure to the palate.
