La Spinetta
La Spinetta
Giuseppe and Lidia Rivetti established the family’s modern wine activity in Piedmont, and their children later developed La Spinetta as an estate-bottling producer. The family released a single-vineyard Moscato in 1977, then expanded into red wines as the next generation reshaped the portfolio. Barbaresco entered the programme in the 1990s, followed by Barolo and a separate Tuscan project acquired in 2001.
The Rivetti siblings’ work spans more than one estate, so Piedmont and Tuscany remain distinct geographic chapters rather than one generic origin. Nebbiolo, Barbera and Moscato are central in Piedmont, while the Tuscan holdings support separate Sangiovese-based wines. La Spinetta now connects its Barbaresco and Barolo vineyards with the Rivetti family’s later work in Tuscany.
La Spinetta 2019 Barbaresco Bordini
Italian Red
Morello cherry, raspberry and plum lead a generous yet lifted bouquet. Rose petal, nutmeg and liquorice add floral and savoury complexity, with dark earth providing quiet depth. The palate is mid-weight and finely textured, shaped by polished tannins and steady freshness. Elegant and persistent, it closes with red fruit, delicate spice and a measured mineral note.
La Spinetta 2014 Ca’ di Pian Barbera d’Asti Magnum
Italian Red
Deep ruby with a violet edge, opening on blueberry, black cherry, dried plum, violet and sandalwood. The palate is full and lively, combining ripe dark fruit with refreshing acidity and polished texture. Complex without feeling heavy, it finishes balanced and persistent. Decant for rich pasta, grilled meat, charcuterie or soft cheese.
