This lot comprises two bottles of 1997 vintage Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina produced by La Spinetta in Piedmont.
The Barbaresco wine region is situated immediately next to its neighbors of Barolo and is home to a truly complex and long-lasting premium wine, the Barbaresco. Fifty years ago, Barbaresco emancipated itself from its famous neighbors. It too consists of the Nebbiolo grape variety, which takes root in the calciferous marl soil and can result in intense red wines. The best Barbaresco, like that of Angelo Gaja, retains its value and is long-lasting and rare.
1997 was an excellent vintage in Piedmont, especially for Barbaresco and Barolo, where opulent and intense wines were made. This wine is now at the peak of its maturity and will remain there for several years.
The 1997 vintage La Spinetta Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina was rated 96 points by Robert Parker in 2001. James Suckling rated the wine 92 points for Wine Spectator in 2007.
The fill levels are excellent (< 3 cm). The labels and capsulesa are in perfect condition.
