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
- WA94
- The 2007 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi bursts from the glass with red berries, sweet spices, roses and mint, all of which come together on a powerful, richly structured frame that is the hallmark of Barbareschi from Neive. The Starderi is the most tannic of the estate’s 2007s but it is a wine with significant promise and a long road ahead of very fine drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.
- WS93
- A big-boned Barbaresco, this is a bit gangly at first, settling into raspberry, cherry, floral and a hint of tar flavors. Muscular and tannic, contradicting the notion that Barbaresco is lighter than Barolo. Fine length and ripe tannins. Best from 2013 through 2026. 580 cases made.
