The Rivetti family story begins in the 1890s, when Giovanni Rivetti, grandfather of the three Rivetti brothers, Carlo, Bruno and Giorgio, left Piedmont for Argentina. Like many Italians of that time, he dreamed of returning rich and a powerful man, perhaps even one day able to make a great wine in his homeland. He never did, though his son, Giuseppe did. Pin married Lidia, bought vineyards and began to make wine. In 1977 the family took up residence at La Spinetta in Castagnole Lanze and still run the estate today. This wine is named in honor of Giuseppe Rivetti, nicknamed Pin and is a blend of 65% Nebbiolo with 35% Barbera. From the manual harvest to the 18 months this wine spends ageing in new oak great care and attention to detail is taken in making this wine. A dark red coloured wine it has exotic and luxuriously textured aromas of black plum, currant, black cherry, smoke and spice to reveal the influence of well integrated barrique. On the palate it is warm with perfect tannins and a healthy swathing of alcohol, allowing a long sweeter finish. (12 x 75 cl)
