La Spinetta

La Spinetta is a family-run winery that was founded in 1977, when Giuseppe Rivetti, known as "Pin", decided to move to the top of the Castagnole Lanze hill, called La Spinetta, after his marriage. And it is precisely here that Giuseppe begins producing the traditional sweet wine of Piedmont, namely Moscato. Since then a lot of wine has passed into the barrels... and interest has gradually shifted towards red wines, which sees the birth of the first Barbarescos, towards the mid-90s. And in fact Spinetta is today one of the most important wineries in Piedmont, a true point of reference for the production of Barolo and Barbaresco. From this moment the rise of the La Spinetta winery is continuous. Today the company is expertly directed by Giorgio, Bruno and Carlo Rivetti, members of a family that has made passion and work the secret of its success. La Spinetta covers approximately 100 hectares of vineyards, purchased over time with great care. In fact, all the vineyards enjoy excellent exposure, towards the south, south-east and south-west, and the vines all have an average age between 35 and 65 years, ideal conditions for producing grapes and therefore high quality wines . La Spinetta wines are created exclusively from native vines, which historically belong to the areas in which they grow. This is a precise choice, which aims to enhance the territory, distancing itself from current fashions. Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato are therefore the protagonist grapes, which are grown with very low yields because only from careful daily care of the vineyard can great wines be born. La Spinetta produces red wines that are the undisputed protagonists of a production that speaks and narrates the territory in an exciting way, bringing to life the most ancient traditions of the Langhe in the light of the most modern technologies.
