🏡 About La Spinetta

Founded in 1977 by Giuseppe “Pin” and Lidia Rivetti in Castagnole Lanze, Piedmont, La Spinetta—meaning “Top of the Hill”—remains a family-owned winery led by their children Carlo, Bruno and winemaker Giorgio Rivetti. From its beginnings with single-vineyard Moscato, the estate expanded into Barbera, Barbaresco, Barolo and Timorasso, alongside vineyards in Tuscany. Its philosophy centres on low yields and careful vineyard management. The family also acquired historic sparkling wine house Contratto in 2011, while La Spinetta’s distinctive rhinoceros label takes inspiration from an Albrecht Dürer woodcut.
