2002 La Spineta Ca' Di Pian

Clove, allspice, medium tannins. Little fruit hiding in there. There is a great story about this wine that I will fill in later.

2004 La Spinetta Langhe Nebiollo

In Bridgehampton for the weekend. Zilia cooked an osso bucco for dinner with some friends and figured I would supply a nice Italian to compliment the dish. I went to Morrells and found the La Spinetta.

I wasn't that impressed for the price - $83. It had good fruit and a nice balance of tannins and acid, but I would not buy it again.
