Barbera d'Alba doc Gallina La Spinetta 2017

This elegant Barbera d’Alba exhibits an intense ruby red colour and various perfumes of mature red fruit with plum’, cherry’, blackberry’, vanilla’, chocolate’ and black pepper’s hints. The taste is a warm and rich one, with the qualities of freshness and good structure: so it is perfect if combined with red meats and every kind of cheese.

The history of Rivetti’s family starter in 1890, when Giovanni Rivetti left for Argentina, by abandoning his family in Italy. His son Giuseppe began to lay the foundations for the building of a cave: so he started the wines’ production and the Rivetti family settled in La Spinetta, in Castagnole Lanze in 1977, where it was produced the first red wine, Barbera Cà di Pian. Recently the Rivetti’s have purchased some vineyards in Grinzane Cavour, where an art cave has been founded, and it is called Barolo Campè. Nowadays Rivetti’vineyards extend in Toscana, too, by occupying about 65 hectares of the territory.
