About the Winery:
The Rivetti family story begins in the 1890s, when Giovanni Rivetti, left Piedmont for Argentina. Like many Italians then, he dreamed of returning a rich man, perhaps even one day able to make great wine in his homeland. He never did, though his son, Giuseppe “Pin” did.
In 1985 La Spinetta made its first red wine, and acclaim soon followed as owner / winemaker Giorgio Rivetti's magic touch with Nebbiolo took the world by storm. He produces approachable yet age-worthy wines that capture the attention of wine critics and consumers year in and year out with their opulence, concentration, aromatics and length. Whatever Giorgio touches turns to gold as his Barbarescos and Barolos are the Ne Plus Ultra of their category, as confirmed by Wine Spectator Magazine and Wine Advocate.
Ratings & Reviews
97 Points - James Suckling:"The pure fruit aromas are mind-blowing with meat, fresh flowers, citrus fruit and sliced strawberries. Full body, ultra-fine tannins. Fabulous texture. Super subtle fruit and finesse. Wow. Drink in 2020 but so entrancing now." (Mar 2016)
93 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The 2012 Barolo Campè Vürsù is built with strength and power on the inside, but gives an outward appearance that is more introvert and delicate. The bouquet is redolent of dried cherry, cassis, licorice, cola and grilled rosemary. The aromatic presentation is slightly sharper and more focused compared to past vintages of this wine. This Barolo should age nicely over the years, putting on more weight and fleshiness as it moves forward." - Monica Larner (Jun 2016)
