Awarded 97 points by James Suckling, this vintage stands as one of the most concentrated and refined expressions from La Spinetta's prized Campe vineyard, produced through an extreme 75% yield reduction that left only a quarter of the fruit on the vine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 14.5%  |  Origin: Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy  |  Vintage: 2015  |  Producer: La Spinetta (Giorgio Rivetti)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa Spinetta was founded by the Rivetti family and is led by Giorgio Rivetti, one of Piedmont's most respected winemakers. The Campe vineyard sits on the higher, more exposed slopes of the estate's holdings, where approximately 70-year-old Nebbiolo vines produce exceptionally low yields of concentrated fruit. For the 2015 vintage, a rigorous green harvest reduced production by 75%, and the remaining grapes underwent maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for 14 to 15 days — a method that extracts depth while preserving the varietal's inherent elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with violets and hibiscus flowers before giving way to very pure blackcurrants, blueberries, and wild strawberries.

Red fruit — currants, raspberries — dominates the mid-palate, joined by a subtle perception of white chocolate and spice.

The grapes come exclusively from the Campe vineyard's high-altitude, exposed parcels planted with approximately 70-year-old Nebbiolo vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with Campe Barolo 2015?\u003c\/strong\u003e Braised short ribs or osso buco match the wine's tannic grip and depth. White truffle dishes — pasta or risotto — echo its earthy complexity. Aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Castelmagno complement its structure. Game meats such as venison or wild boar work well with the wine's spice and density. Dark chocolate with a high cacao percentage mirrors its subtle white chocolate note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Campe Barolo 2015 come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard release is a 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Campe Barolo 2015 worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Campe Barolo positions as a premium single-vineyard Barolo from old vines with a 97-point James Suckling score, placing it among the upper tier of the appellation — strong value relative to similarly rated Barolo from more established estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Campe Barolo 2015?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 vintage of Campe represents one of the most extreme selections La Spinetta has ever bottled, with 75% of the crop removed during green harvest to concentrate the remaining fruit from vines averaging 70 years of age. That decision paid off: James Suckling awarded it 97 points, and the CellarTracker community consensus sits at 96 points. The wine delivers a rare combination of power and finesse that is characteristic of the best Barolo, yet it carries La Spinetta's signature aromatic purity and textural polish. For collectors and serious Nebbiolo enthusiasts, this is a benchmark expression from a standout Piedmont vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Girogio Rivetti La Spinetta Campe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837729206441,"sku":"30851","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Girogio-Rivetti-La-Spinetta-Campe-Barolo__98519.jpg?v=1730492274"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/girogio-rivetti-la-spinetta-campe.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
