Monferrato Rosso Pin La Spinetta 2016

The Monferrato rosso "Pin" of La Spinetta winery is dedicated to Giuseppe Rivetti, known as "Pin", who was able to pass on to his sons Carlo, Bruno and Giorgio the love for the Piedmontese territory and its traditions.
Pin is a red wine produced with 65% of Nebbiolo and 35% of Barbera; it shows a beautiful ruby red color with violet reflections. The nose develops intense and composite, fruity, floral and spicy aromas, with hints of raspberries and berries. Fresh and well balanced wine, its taste develops hints of underbrush and is characterized by a pleasing tannic and persistent final. The Monferrato rosso "Pin" is perfect to drink with handmade gnocchi with meat sauce, medium-aged cheeses and typical cold cuts of the Piedmontese tradition.

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.
