The Winery

Giuseppe Rivetti

In order to make great wines, a fervent philosophy regarding work in both the vineyards and winery is essential, but most of all one must be willing to work hard.
– La Spinetta Philosophy

La Spinetta was founded by a team of Giuseppe and Lidia Rivetti in 1977, in which their focus was on Moscato d’Asti. By 1985 though they begin to produce red wines, dipping their toes into the wide world of Barbera and Nebbiolo blends. In 2000 the first Barolo vintage was produced. Now La Spinetta produces wines breathtakingly diverse wines within Barolo, Barbaresco, and Tuscany. Learn more here and enjoy those in our cellar before they are gone!

Tasting Notes

WA93+
La Spinetta’s 2009 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi is bursting with energy, even if it doesn’t quite have the sheer richness or pure depth of the very best vintages. Still, the Starderi is a hugely appealing wine that only needs time to shed some tannin. Raspberry jam, flowers, mint and cloves are followed by darker, more brooding aromas and flavors. As always, the Starderi is the richest and most imposing of the Spinetta Barbareschi. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.
