La Spinetta, a name synonymous with top-tier Italian wines, stands proudly on the foundation of a family's passion for winemaking that began in 1977. Nestled on the hilltops of Castagnole delle Lanze in Piedmont, La Spinetta first gained acclaim with their Moscato d'Asti, which set a benchmark for quality in the region. With Giorgio Rivetti at the helm, the winery's journey from crafting the finest Moscato to producing revered Barbaresco and Barolo wines has been marked by innovation and a dedication to excellence.
The wines of La Spinetta carry the signature of Giorgio's masterful touch, whether it be their lush and aromatic Moscato, the robust and complex Nebbiolo, or the pioneering single-vineyard Barberas and their notable Barbera/Nebbiolo blend known as "Pin". Each bottle from La Spinetta is a testament to the winery's ability to create wines that are not only approachable upon release but also possess the structure to age gracefully.
Celebrated by critics and wine lovers alike, La Spinetta has earned more than 30 Tre Bicchieri awards, underscoring the winery's consistent quality across their extensive wine portfolio. This achievement is particularly impressive considering the winery's relatively short history, reflecting a relentless pursuit of wine-making perfection.
In addition to the Piedmont holdings, La Spinetta's presence extends to Tuscany, encompassing 165 hectares of vineyards. The winery's commitment to excellence is further exemplified by their farming practices, which include organic methods that respect the land and the vines.
Moreover, the Rivetti family's passion for wine extends beyond La Spinetta to the historic Contratto estate, known for its traditional method sparkling wines and selected spirits. This expansion reflects their dedication to honoring winemaking traditions while also embracing innovation
