The Story
Grapes for this Barolo come from the Garretti and Campè vineyards, in the Barolo township of Grinzane
Cavour. Typical varietal characteristics of sweet and savory herbs, tobacco, mint, liquorice, berries,
roses and spice are laced together in this full-bodied, dense and chewy wine. Beautiful fruit and length
paired with polished tannins make for a supple, silky wine that will only continue to improve with age

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.
