Intensity
A Nebbiolo with a nose of wilted roses and black fruits (plum, blueberry), well-rounded on the palate with silky tannins. It will go very very well with grilled red meats or game.
More infoThe Nebbiolo of this cuvée comes from south-facing limestone soil. Alcoholic fermentation takes place for seven to eight days and malolactic fermentation is done in barrels. The wine is then aged for 12 months in barriques of one or more wines and then put in stainless-steel vats two months before bottling. The first vintage produced was 2004. With a very clear ruby hue, the wine exudes aromas of old rose petals and black fruit (plum and blueberry). On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-rounded with beautiful tannins with a lovely finish.
About the Producer La Spinetta
A reputation acquired over a thirty-year period. La Spinetta was founded by Giuseppe and Lidia Rivetti in 1977 in the Moscato d'Asti region. But the Rivettis did not restrict themselves to producing delicious dessert wines. They swiftly diversified into red wines. In 2000, their dream of producing their first Barolo came true. They followed this up by buying vines in the Grinzane Cavour region and built a state-of-the-art cellar – Barolo Campe. In 2001, La Spinetta Campé extend beyond Piedmont with 65 hectares of Tuscan vines between Pisa and Volterra. Rivetti wines supplemented their range with 100% Sangiovese wines and definitively established the family's reputation as one of the leading winemaking families in Italy. All the bottle labels bear an engraving of a rhinoceros by Dürer, making them extremely easy to spot!
