Last week we were at a blind sample in Manhattan which featured wines from Piedmont, Italy. Out of the slews of wines we tried, we were moving away by one - literally interpreted backbone. There was something familiar, refined and sinuous just about the element which was enhanced by its Piedmontese individuality. Later, when the alcohol (La Spinetta 'PIN') was revealed, it was no amazement that this gem was from "one of Italy's supreme fashionable winemaker, proprietors, Giorgio Rivetti, [who] displays a masterly touch whether he is making Barbera....or his proprietary red alcohol Pin." Robert Parker, Jr.
This Super-Piedmont is a branded beat which changes from vintage to vintage; the 2004 wine is a Nebbiolo-Barbera mixture that has a analyzable and big snout near an exotic and smart texture. Nebbiolo is the supreme solid of the Piedmont varietals fashioning wines of surprising say-so and diplomacy specified as Barolos and Barbarescos. What is inventive nearly 'Pin' is that it has the musculus and structure from 65% Nebbiolo, but a fleshiness and adolescent friendliness from 35% Barbera. One would have to break a period to get this tidy proceed from supreme Barolos, making this babe Barolo a must have. With notes of dark plum, currant, black cherry, smoke and spice, this scrummy red is warming on the roof of the mouth beside faultless tannins and a extensive finish.
Pair this wine with your popular meat dish, Osso-Buco, vigorous alimentary paste or bitter cheeses. And spell this alcoholic beverage screams for food, it is one of the few and far between Piedmont gems that can be tiddley alone because of the Barbera in the beat.
