LA SPINETTA
La Spinetta is one of Italy’s most celebrated and influential wine producers, renowned for crafting world-class wines that combine power, elegance, and exceptional terroir expression. Founded in 1977 by Giuseppe Rivetti and now led by the Rivetti family, La Spinetta has become a benchmark producer in Piedmont and one of the most recognised names in Italian fine wine.
The winery's origins lie in Castagnole delle Lanze between Barbaresco and Asti, where the family initially focused on Moscato before expanding into red wine production. Today, La Spinetta farms prestigious vineyard holdings across Barbaresco, Barolo, and Tuscany, producing some of Italy’s most sought-after wines.
La Spinetta is particularly renowned for its Barbaresco and Barolo wines crafted from Nebbiolo. The wines typically display aromas of rose petal, red cherry, raspberry, liquorice, tar, spice, and earthy complexity. On the palate, they combine concentration, refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and remarkable ageing potential. Single-vineyard wines such as Gallina, Starderi, Valeirano, Campè, and Garretti are highly regarded among collectors and critics worldwide.
In addition to Nebbiolo, La Spinetta produces outstanding Barbera, Moscato d’Asti, Chardonnay, and Sangiovese-based wines from Tuscany. Across the portfolio, the focus remains on low yields, sustainable vineyard practices, and meticulous fruit selection to maximise vineyard expression and quality.
The winery is easily recognised by its iconic rhinoceros label, inspired by the artwork of German artist Albrecht Dürer. This distinctive symbol has become synonymous with some of Italy’s finest wines and reflects the estate’s commitment to individuality and excellence.
Today, La Spinetta is regarded as one of Italy’s elite producers, consistently earning international acclaim for wines that showcase the finest terroirs of Piedmont and Tuscany.
