Giorgio Rivetti tasting La Spinetta wine

La Spinetta, established in Piedmont, Italy, is renowned for its swift evolution from a Moscato d’Asti producer into one of Italy’s premier red wine estates. The winery is led by the charismatic and visionary Giorgio Rivetti, whose dynamic approach has been pivotal in elevating La Spinetta to international acclaim. Recognised as the second-highest acclaimed wine estate in Italy by Gambero Rosso, La Spinetta expanded its reach in 2000 by acquiring vineyards in Barolo, along with a state-of-the-art winery and barrel cellar in the Barolo DOCG. This strategic move enabled the production of exceptional wines, notably the Barolo Campè, while Rivetti’s Barbarescos continue to receive the highest accolades for their elegance and complexity.

La Spinetta is distinguished by its commitment to producing wines that truly express the unique characteristics of their terroirs. The estate’s vineyards span prestigious areas in Barbaresco and Barolo, where low-yield farming and meticulous vineyard management ensure the production of high-quality grapes. La Spinetta’s approach to winemaking combines traditional techniques with innovative practices, including the use of large oak barrels to provide subtle influence without overpowering the wine's natural expression. The emphasis is on capturing the essence of the grape and the vineyard, resulting in wines that are both refined and authentic. Rivetti’s ability to craft Barbarescos of exceptional finesse, alongside the powerful and structured Barolo Campè, sets La Spinetta apart as a leader in the production of high-quality Italian red wines.

La Spinetta believe that in order to obtain great results, vineyards must be the priority, and must be treated with extreme dedication, attention and respect. Organic farming, low yields, venerating older vines and a focus on indigenous varietals all evidence this dedication to maintaining the special balance of the terroirs from which La Spinetta's spectacular wines start.
