Jeb Dunnuck (95)- "The 2022 Barbaresco Starderi Vursu is medium ruby in color. It has a deeper aromatic profile, with elegantly layered notes of incense, anise, black raspberries, and hints of campfire and woodsy earth. It has a broader feel on the palate, with ripe, expanding tannins, medium body, and a more earthy finish. It is a surprising wine with a more savory feel and will benefit from more time to soften its structure. Drink 2027-2040."
James Suckling (97)- "Top 100 Wines of Italy 2024 (#68) - Strawberry, peach and fresh pink rose aromas. Some hibiscus as well. Full-bodied and very layered with gorgeous tannins that are soft and creamy in texture yet compacted and focused. Best after 2028 but already so beautiful to taste."
Vinous Media (97)- "The 2021 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi is one of the classiest wines I have tasted from La Spinetta. Vibrant and poised, with striking beauty, the 2021 is wonderfully vivid in the glass. Crushed rose petal, spice, mint, orange peel and cinnamon all soar out of the glass. Brisk acids"
