Drink now or cellar for up to 19 years. Decant 1 hour before serving. The La Spinetta story dates right back to the 1890s when Giovanni Rivetti set off from his native Piedmont to make his fortune in Argentina. Giovanni dreamed of returning home to retire and found his own winery, but it was to be his grandson, Giuseppe, who eventually achieved this ambition in 1977. When Giusppe founded the winery in Castagnole Lanze the region was primarily known for its sweet Moscato d’Asti wines, but the Rivettis brought with them a vision of making top quality wines from the exceptional local terroir. In 2000 after considerable success crafting great red wines on the estate, the family decided to purchase land in Barolo. They built a state-of-the-art cellar on their property in Grinzane Cavour and began to produce this exceptional Barolo from the finest grapes on the estate. These vines have an average age of 70 years which produce exceptionally concentrated fruit. Following vinification the young wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 months followed by at least another 12 months of ageing in the bottle. On the nose you find all the classic Barolo notes including rose petals, baked earth, tar and hints of dried herbs and bright berries. Bold and powerful from the first sip, this is a generous, full-bodied wine with Nebbiolo’s typical firm tannins which will respond very well to extended cellaring over the next decade or so.
