Jeb Dunnuck (93)- "Composed of 65% Nebbiolo and the rest Barbera, the 2021 Monferrato Rosso Pin is a medium brick red hue and opens with notes of cherry candies, chestnuts, and mocha. It leads with both floral and fruity aromatics that provide a nice contrast between its bright red, high-toned notes and its deeper, darker cocoa and floral perfume. The palate offers medium to full-bodied richness with a velvety texture, even acidity that drives through the wine, and a lovely finish. It has a lot of appeal, casting a large net for those who love international varietals and want to branch out, and the wine has a good deal of complexity and potential for aging. Drink 2025-2035."
Vinous Media (93)- "The 2020 Monferrato Rosso Pin is terrific. This is one of the best recent vintages I can recall tasting. The blend of 65% Nebbiolo (from Barbaresco) and 35% Barbera d'Asti Bionzo. Floral overtones, refined tannins and a restrained oak imprint elevate the Pin. Crushed flowers, cinnamon and blood orange play off a core of red-toned fruit. These Nebbiolo/Barbera blends are rare these days. This is about as good as it gets."
Vinous Media (91)- "The 2019 Monferrato Rosso Pin, La Spinetta's Nebbiolo/Barbera blend, is terrific. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, mint, white pepper and blood orange lend energy to this juicy, mid-weight red. All the elements are so well balanced."
