This single-vineyard Barbaresco comes from his 3.5 hectares on the cru of Secondine. It is the commune of Barbaresco below the zone of Rabaja Basa and Paje and is where Gaja’s San Lorenzo is located. It is 230 meters above sea level with a southern exposure.


Excellent with game, red meats, truffle dishes and aged cheeses.

Bouquet: Bright bouquet full of cherries, raspberries, licorice and floral notes.
Taste: Elegant and refined with delicate, soft tannins. It is fresh, velvety and extremely well balanced.


Review:



"The 2019 Barbaresco Secondine is one of the most refined wines I have tasted here. Silky and aromatic, yet also quite deep, the 2019 has much to recommend it. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, blood orange, mint and cinnamon lend notable aromatic presence to this firm, classically built Barbaresco. There's plenty of tannin and structure, but also an element of pure seduction I am especially drawn to in this vintage."

- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (October 2023), 95 pts


Notes of blood orange, dried strawberries, tea leaves and lavender. Some dry earth, too. Firm and steady with tension and focus. Medium to full body. Tannins are compact and lightly chewy. Velvety finish. Drink after 2025.

The two Pietro Beruttis, grandfather and grandson, are well known and respected in the Barbaresco area and have received much acclaim both nationally and internationally for their wines. The Berutti’s estate consists of 22 hectares divided between four vineyard sites:

  • La Spinona - 10 ha.
  • L’Albina - 2.5 ha.
  • La Ghiga - 5.5 ha.
  • La Bergera - 4 ha.

Their best Barbaresco cru comes from the Faset vineyard area, of which Berutti owns the “Bricco” or crest of the vineyard. Only the owner of these coveted hilltop vineyards can use the designations “Bricco”,“Bric” on the label.

La Spinona uses only organic farming practices and is famous for their own production of natural fertilizer. They were one of the first Piedmont estates to obtain organic certification back in the 1980's.

The label of La Spinona is as famous as the wine. The Spinona is a special breed of Piedmontese hunting Dog, which the Berutti’s raise. As the legend goes, this particular dog, Baica, received her place of honor on the label for an act of great heroism. She saved the Berutti’s only son from drowning in the irrigation lake when he was a baby. The son then became a veterinarian to save the dogs and later obtained a degree in agronomy to take care of the vineyards.

The Beruttis produce Barbaresco, Barolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Chardonnay & Nebbiolo delle Langhe.
