The Story
It’s safe to say that this wine is the most representative wine from the Casanova estate. Its name ‘Nero’, derives from “vino nero” which is what Tuscan red wines were tradionally called. On the nose it expresses hints of blackberries, blueberries, and ripe cherries with slight spicy notes. The tannins are velvety and in perfect harmony with extraordinary freshness. The excellent acidity makes for a wonderful finish.
Terricciola is sandy, of marine origins and rich with oceanic sediments. While Casciana Terme has rocky soil, strongly characterized by travertine. Average vine age is 20 years with South-West / South-East exposure.

About La Spinetta
Brand Story
The La Spinetta story began in the 1890s when Giovanni Rivetti, grandfather to brothers Carlo, Bruno & Giorgio, left Piedmont for Argentina. Like many Italians at that time, he dreamed of returning a rich & powerful man, one day making great wine in his homeland. Though Giovanni never did, his son Giuseppe ("Pin"), fulfilled the dream. Pin married Lidia, purchased vineyards & began making wine. In 1977 the family moved to LA SPINETTA in Castagnole Lanze, the heart of the area well-known for Moscato d'Asti. The Rivetti's believed that Moscato had potential for greatness and set out to prove it by producing the region's first single-vineyard Moscato wines. Over time, the family's vision grew and the family expanded into Barolo, Tuscany, and even sparkling wine production in Canelli.
