Description

Still red wine from Piedmont, Barbaresco DOCG, 14.5% ABV, produced by La Spinetta. 100% Nebbiolo, 0.75 L bottle, 2016 vintage. A Barbaresco that embodies the passion and dedication of the Rivetti family, with a history dating back to the 1970s. Maceration and fermentation last 7-8 days in temperature-controlled rotofermenters. Malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels. Aged entirely in new, medium-toasted French barriques for 20-22 months. After aging, the wine is transferred to steel tanks for approximately 3 months and then bottled, followed by bottle aging for approximately 12 months. Complex, even explosive, with immediate notes of fruit, sweet spices, licorice, and chocolate. On the palate it is imposing, with hints of oak that progressively release the balsamic aromas, in a framework of rare harmony and balance between the sweetness of the tannins and the austerity of the material.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1977
  • Oenologist: Giorgio Rivetti, Andrea Rivetti
  • Bottles produced: 500.000
  • Hectares: 100
The Spinetta winery was founded by the Rivetti family, Argentinean emigrants who came to Italy with the dream of producing their wines. The winery's name derives from the place where the family settled, at la Spinetta (hilltop) in Castagnole Lanze, the production area of Moscato d'Asti, a light and fresh wine to be enjoyed with desserts. And it was precisely by realising the potential of this wine that the Rivetti family began producing the Moscato Biancospino and the Bricco Quaglia. The desire for growth of the Spinetta winery manifested itself in the production of a red wine, Barbera Cà di Pian, which was followed by others such as Barbaresco, Barbera d'Alba Gallina until 2000 when the well-known Barolo was produced. La Spinetta wines are the result of an intense study of the terroir, with a preference for indigenous varieties and a path that sees its greatest work in the vineyard, since to achieve great results most of the work must be done in the vineyard and the rest in the winery. The La Spinetta wines featured on Xtrawine are characterised by their balanced taste with bottles that have received important awards from: Bibenda, Gambero Rosso, Veronelli and AIS.. Xtrawine offers bottles from the best vintages of 2013 and 2014 made from varietals such as: Nebbiolo, Blend Rosso and Sangiovese. Read more
