History

The Rivetti family story began in the 1890s when Giovanni Rivetti

Like many Italians at that time, he dreamed of returning rich and a powerful man, and perhaps even one day having the opportunity to make a great wine in his homeland.

Though Giovanni never did, his son, Giuseppe , fulfilled the dream.

Pin married Lidia and began to make wine.

In 1977 the family took up residence at LA SPINETTA  in Castagnole Lanze, located in the heart of the area well-known for Moscato d’Asti, a rather light and simple dessert wine at the time.

Over time, the family’s vision became even grander, and in 1985 LA SPINETTA made its first red wine, Barbera Cà di Pian, with many great reds to follow.

In 1989 the Rivetti brothers named their red blend  “Pin” in honor of their father.

In 2000 the family’s ambition of adding a Barolo to the winery production became a reality.

The Rivetti’s acquired vineyards in Grinzane Cavour where a state of the art cellar, LA SPINETTA Campè, was also constructed.

In 2001 LA SPINETTA expanded beyond the borders of Piedmont, acquiring 65 hectares of vineyards in Tuscany, between Pisa and Volterra, where three different 100% Sangiovese wines are produced.

• For LA SPINETTA Sangiovese is the true ambassador of the Tuscan terrain.
