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. The Nebbiolo vines aged between 35 to 45 years old from an 8 hectare vineyard have produced an intense vibrant ruby red coloured wine. The warm and rich bouquet is showing the elegance of Nebbiolo with scents of ripe red fruits and spices while the well balanced wood also has influence. The palate is round, distinct, powerful, but with a long, fine fruit finish. (6 x 75 cl)
