The man made his name with Moscato, and channeled that success into becoming one of the leading Piedmontese producers of all. Yes, Giorgio Rivetti is as captivating as he is driven and talented, and possesses a wealth of top vineyards in Barbaresco, Barolo and even Tuscany, all under the umbrella of La Spinetta.

La Spinetta

His wines are as ebullient as Giorgio, a man always with a smile on his face, seemingly. La Spinetta's wines are never too stern, always full of grace and a lush charm. Giorgio has somehow found the successful bridge between age-worthy and pleasurable, even with Nebbiolo, which we have stated openly is often a grape requiring much patience. You won't have to work too hard to find pleasure in his wines, though, as evidenced in wines like "Pin" - Giorgio's nickname to his friends - a beautiful and timeless blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo - a gorgeous wine of succulent red fruits and savory hints showcasing the best of each varietal.

The 1999 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina has aged beautifully. Dark cherries, plums, smoke, tobacco, incense and mocha are some of the many notes that are woven together in the 1999 Gallina. Frankly, this is an eye-opening wine. The Gallina is impressive when it is young, but it has a way of firming up very nicely in bottle. I have seen that before, and in this tasting, I see it again. Readers who still own the 1999 Gallina are in for a treat.
