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 2006 Barbera d’Asti Superiore Bionzo is a wine of notable character. A deep, inky purple, it offers a multitude of mineral-infused dark fruit, blueberry jam, minerals, tar, spices and French oak. The Bionzo possesses the greater acidity that is typical of Barberas from Asti and it will take longer to come around than the Barbera Gallina. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. Giorgio Rivetti has another set of very solid wines on his hands with his 2005 Barbarescos. The wines have always shown terrific balance and are just a notch or two below his 2004s.

The 2006 Barbera d'Asti Bionzo harkens back to a period in the history's estate in which French oak was a little more prominent. Still, the 2006 Bionzo has barely budged. Rose petals, graphite, smoke, minerals and crushed rocks all jump from a wine endowed with superb energy and finesse. When it was young, the 2006 was not at all expressive. Today, it is a rock star.
