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.

Giorgio Rivetti is obviously best known for the wines he makes in Piedmont, but he purchased a property in the province of Pisa in 2000 and was so satisfied with the first wines that he bought another in 2002. The intention is to use only native Tuscan grapes, and the 2001 Sezzana, Sangiovese and Colorino, demonstrates the wiseness of this choice in its dark ruby/garnet tonality, the ripe plum and berry fruit, discreetly and judiciously spiced by smoky, tarry oak, and the broad, sweet, layered, and focused flavors, velvety and with excellent length and intensity on the finish. A notable improvement on the 2000 version of the wine, and destined to easily last another decade.
