From this winery
  • Start up year: 2001
  • Oenologist: Giorgio Rivetti, Mirko Bessi
The Rivetti family, renowned for their historic Piedmontese winery La Spinetta, arrived in Tuscany in the early 2000s bringing with them a bold and forward-thinking vision. Among these rolling hills, they chose to give voice to the grape varieties that truly express the soul of the territory: Sangiovese, Colorino, and Prugnolo Gentile, leaving the more celebrated international varieties in the background. Every decision stems from a deep respect for nature: organic farming, extremely low yields, meticulous attention to grape quality, and slow aging in large oak casks. The result is a collection of wines that speak with elegance and authenticity, combining complexity with remarkable drinkability — a hallmark of Tuscany’s greatest expressions. Read more
