The Story
The Moscato grapes for the Oro are left to dry in the cellar until the
end of December, followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentation
and an additional two years aging in new French oak barrels. The
result is virtually liquid gold (“Oro” in Italian), a luscious wine with
intense, pure aromas of grapefruit skin, honeysuckle, crystallized
ginger, aromatic herbs and honey. Juicy, precise and penetrating,
succulent yet firm flavors of lemon, thyme, vanilla, ripe citrus and pear
are accented by maple syrup and spice. This is a dense, luscious, rich
Moscato wine that pairs nicely with chocolate desserts and rich
cheeses

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.
