La Spinetta
About La Spinetta
Founded as, relatively, recently as 1977 by Giuseppe Rivetti, La Spinetta is currently under the stewardship of second-generation Giorgio who has overseen a remarkable rise to the pinnacle of Barbaresco and an impressive expansion of everything from vineyards to range of cuvées.
Without question most famous for their truly exceptional Barolo and Barbaresco wines, La Spinetta has actually been producing these for fewer than three decades, starting with the Gallina cuvée in 1995. A mere handful of vintages, in the context of ancient Piedmont producers, to master the terroir of Italy’s most noble region, La Spinetta has nevertheless ascended the pyramid alongside the likes of mighty Gaja to become one of the most coveted labels in fine wine, especially amongst those with a passion for Barbaresco.

Wine Advocate (93)The 2012 Barbaresco Gallina Vürsù is a gorgeous expression that marches to the beat of its own drum (as do all of Giorgio Rivetti's fascinating wines). The wine delivers intensity, density and freshness in equal measure throughout its balanced presentation. The perfumed bouquet offers dark fruit and dried cherry with subtle touches of cinnamon and dark cola in a background role. |
