The Story
A gorgeous wine, vivid and nuanced with sensual aromas of redcurrant, plum, earth, herbs, spices
and flowers (rose petals, lavender). On the palate, this top Barbaresco reveals a round, dense
texture with a classically dry finish and ripe tannins that dust the front teeth. Sometimes a bit shy
at first, Gallina is often considered the most age-worthy of the three top La Spinetta Barbaresco
wines, truly blossoming after a bit of time in the cellar. This pretty wine has an aging potential of at
least 25-30 years and is ideal paired with grilled food, and rich meat dishes.

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.
