Alluring aromas of fragrant blue flower, woodland berry, forest floor and pipe tobacco slowly take shape in this compelling wine. Gorgeous and full-bodied, the palate delivers ripe morello cherry while licorice, cinnamon and crushed herb add depth. Polished tannins provide the elegant framework. Drink through 2026.
La Spinona Barolo Sori Gepin 2011
Barolo DOCG
Barolo, produced with Nebbiolo grapes from the vineyard of the town of Novello, has a ruby red colour, and tends to an intense garnet red with ageing. The bouquet is complex and combines freshness with elegance and finesse. A flavour with strong tannins but well-balanced and lingering.
Grape Variety: 100% Nebbiolo da Barolo. 4 hectare vineyard in the town of Novello with southern exposure.
Harvest: Late October-early November. The grapes are harvested by hand in perforated baskets to allow air to pass through the bunches. The pressing is soft. Cold maceration for 24 hours at 12°C (for certain years).
Fermentation: "pied de cuve" with selected yeasts and 20-25 days of fermentation at a controlled temperature (29-30°C) with open repassing of must over the grape dregs at key stages in the process. Racking and gentle pressing to obtain only the best wine. Natural malolactic fermentation in a temperature-controlled environment (20°C).
Aging Process: Around 30 months in large 25 hectolitre wooden barrels of Allier and Slavonian Oak wood.
Refining: In the bottle for 12-15 months in a temperature-controlled environment.
Colour: Ruby red, tending to garnet red with ageing.
Bouquet: Complex, combining freshness with elegance and finesse.
Taste: Strong presence of tannins with great balance and persistence.
Alcohol: 13.5% to 14.5% Vol. (Depending on the vintage).

Wines Barbaresco, Barolo, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay
Clean, Elegant and Unique
Clean, Elegant and Unique: These are not just three adjectives for us; they are the philosophy of our work. La Spinona makes wines with respect for the land and for consumer safety.
For our Barbaresco, Barolo, Nebbiolo and Barbera we use wood with traditional expertise to produce wines that reflect the land in their austere taste and balanced yet explosive bouquet.
Our Dolcetto and Chardonnay have unique bouquets, influenced by a microclimate that imparts special qualities of freshness and minerality.
Clean Wine: Our respect for the environment enables us to produce wine with zero-waste.
Elegant Wine: The intense and enveloping fragrance of the must is preserved in the wine through a careful process combining tradition and innovation in the initial stages, before allowing the maturation period to do the rest.
Unique Wine: The depth of the structure, classic taste and balance give us a wine that is ideal for aging.
Barbaresco, The Terroir Makes The Difference
Position, Orientation, Microclimate and Tradition: These are the four factors that characterize our vineyards, all of which are in the municipality of Barbaresco (the Barolo vineyard is in the municipality of Novello).
Position: The plots are located in the best parts of the hills.
Orientation: From south-east to south-west, for maximum exposure to the sun.
Microclimate: The combination of natural elements enables us to obtain wines with unique fragrances. The soil yields Barbaresco, Nebbiolo and Barbera characterized by length, finesse and elegance. The Barolo is full-bodied and structured. Thanks to the microclimate influenced by the Tanaro river and the woods adjacent to the vineyards, the Dolcetto and Chardonnay are fresh, long-lived and have a distinct minerality.
Tradition: The cultivation of the vineyards and the soil is governed by respect for the environment. The use of natural fertilizers produced by our cattle breeding and a scrupulous choice of low-impact treatments are just two examples of how we care for nature. Vineyards and cascine (farmsteads), in keeping with the tradition of our land:
La Spinona, A Story Coloured by Barbaresco
Barbaresco wine is a family affair at La Spinona. From the grandfather Pietro, to his son Gualtiero and then his grandson Pietropaolo: for decades, the Berutti family have believed in the land on the hills of the municipality of Barbaresco, a place dedicated to the production of great wines.
La Spinona is a company that represents its founder Pietro Berutti, a man of great experience who believed in Barbaresco since the 1940s. Pietro’s son Gualtiero, an experienced veterinary surgeon, brought his expertise not only to the breeding of Piemontese cattle, but also to the cultivation of the vineyards and selection of the best products, while respecting the environment. This is a responsibility he continues to bear, confident that his commitment is shared by his son Pietropaolo, a wine-making technician and head of production in the winery, together with the marketing side.
La Spinona, a name associated with the land, originates from part of the family’s life history: the still-vivid memory of their dog, Baica, a Spinone Italiano. She was a friend and “sister”, who accompanied Pietro for years along the path that led to the development of the winery in the late 1940s. Baica is a symbol that still has pride of place on the company logo and, throughout the world, represents the history of a winery that makes high-quality wine through meticulous work and attention to nature, to obtain wines that are clean, elegant and traditional.
The results can be seen in abundance: the Barbaresco, Barolo, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba and Langhe Chardonnay are all appreciated in the major markets, including the US, Japan and Canada.
