THE COMPANY
La Spinetta is today one of the most important wineries in Piedmont, a true reference point for the production of Barolo and Barbaresco. It is a family-run operation that began in 1977, when Giuseppe Rivetti, known as "Pin," decided to move to the top of the hill of Castagnole Lanze, called La Spinetta, after getting married. It was here that Giuseppe began to experiment with a traditional sweet wine from Piedmont, Moscato. Since then, many steps forward have been made, and the focus of production shifted to the creation of red wines, with the first Barbareschi appearing in the mid-1990s. From that moment on, the rise of the La Spinetta winery has been continuous, and the great successes led the owners to expand beyond the borders of Piedmont, moving into Tuscany, where in 2001 they acquired 65 hectares between Pisa and Volterra. Today, La Spinetta is skillfully managed by Giorgio, Bruno, and Carlo Rivetti, members of a family that has made hard work the secret of its success.
La Spinetta spans about 100 hectares of vineyards, acquired over time with great care. The vineyards enjoy excellent exposure, facing south, southeast, and southwest, and the vines are all between 35 and 65 years old, ideal for producing expressive and compact wines. The wines of La Spinetta come exclusively from indigenous grape varieties, which historically belong to the areas in which they grow and develop. This is a very deliberate choice aimed at enhancing the territory, avoiding the uniformity of flavors that too often goes out of style. Nebbiolo first and foremost, along with Barbera and Moscato, are the leading grapes, cultivated with very low yields and meticulous work, because only through careful daily vineyard management can great wines be born.
It is precisely great bottles that should be discussed when looking at the range produced each year by the La Spinetta winery, where red wines are the undisputed stars of a production that speaks and tells the territory impeccably, bringing to life the oldest traditions of the Langhe in light of the most modern technologies. Of course, one cannot help but fall in love with the various labels dedicated to Barbaresco and Barolo, wines that, in every expression, manage to amaze, always achieving absolute perfection.
