History

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

Though Giovanni never did, his son, Giuseppe fulfilled the dream. Pin married Lidia, purchased vineyards, 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.

The Rivetti’s believed, however, that Moscato had the potential for greatness and set out to prove it by producing the region’s first single-vineyard Moscato wines, Bricco Quaglia and Biancospino.

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

The first Barbaresco, Gallina, was produced in 1995 followed by Barbarescos Starderi, Barbera d’Alba Gallina in 1996 and and Barbaresco Valeirano in 1997. Barbera d’Asti Superiore entered the lineup in 1998.

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.
