The Story
This is a precise and finely cut Barbaresco, exhibiting the most austere personality of the three La
Spinetta Barbaresco wines, typical of this cru in Treiso. The vineyard is quite high for Barbaresco at
450 meters (1,476 feet) above sea level and faces entirely south. The Valeirano is a wine of
tremendous energy and intensity with shades of dark cherry, sweet spice, crushed flowers, leather,
mint, truffle and tobacco (perfumes reminiscent of Barolo), adding dimension to this already potent
wine. Substantial tannins are softened by a touch of sophistication, a wine to watch in the future
Valeirano displays surprising minerality, supported with phenomenal structure.

About La Spinetta
Producer 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.
