Description

Still red wine from Tuscany IGT, 14.5% ABV, produced by La Spinetta. Blend: 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino. 0.75L bottle, 2011 vintage. A wine born from the Rivetti brothers' passion for Tuscany, combining the power of Sangiovese with the finesse of Colorino. Alcoholic fermentation for 7-8 days in temperature-controlled rotofermenters. Malolactic fermentation in barriques. Aged in new medium-toasted French oak barrels for 12-14 months. After aging, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks for approximately 3 months and then bottled, followed by 3-4 months of bottle aging. Aromas of ripe berries, vanilla, and coffee blend into a very intense ruby red. Full-bodied, rich, and clean, with sweet tannins well-integrated with the oak, and a lingering finish that invites further tasting.

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
