The Story
The Langhe Nebbiolo is mostly young-vine fruit from the Starderi vineyard from which the Cru
Barbaresco is produced. Racy and layered, this wine offers a beguiling mix of bright red cherry and
blueberry fruit and floral, spiced, minty notes that add perfume. Full-bodied and rich, yet pretty and
expressive, this is an excellent Nebbiolo to enjoy quite young though it can certainly withstand some
time in the cellar as well.

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.
