95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$140 list] The 2017 Barbaresco Valeirano Vürsù shows increased focused and brighter high notes compared to the other new releases from La Spinetta. The Valeirano cru is located in Treiso and sees 50- to 60-year-old vines planted at 380 meters above sea level, where they benefit from cool nighttime temperatures in the crucial weeks leading up to harvest. The wine is packed tight with black cherry and blackberry with light shadings of cedar, licorice and spice at the back. These wines from 2017 all tend to show extra tannic intensity, although this expression appears the silkiest of them all. Some 7,000 bottles were made. Drink: 2022-2040. (Jul 2020)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "La Spinetta’s 2017 Barbaresco Valeirano is classy, elegant and polished from start to finish. Freshly cut flowers, mint, sweet red berry fruit and blood orange are some of the many notes that grace this super-expressive, inviting Barbaresco from La Spinetta. In 2017, the Valeirano is more delicate and less hefty than it can be – which is not a bad thing – although there is plenty of its characteristic tannin to carry the wine and give it energy. Drink: 2025-2037. (Oct 2020)"

94 points James Suckling: "There’s real purity of fruit and beauty in this young Barbaresco with strawberry, cherry and light chocolate aromas and flavors. It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy and firm tannins and a pretty finish. Give it two or three years to come together. Try in 2023. (12/8/20)"
