History

• The Rivetti family story began in the 1890s when Giovanni Rivetti, grandfather to brothers Carlo, Bruno and Giorgio, left Piedmont for Argentina.
•  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, 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

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.

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.

• Barbera d’Asti Superiore entered the lineup in 1998.
• In 2000 the family’s ambition of adding a Barolo to the winery production became a reality.
• In 2001 LA SPINETTA expanded beyond the borders of Piedmont, acquiring 65 hectares of vineyards in Tuscany, between Pisa and Volterra
