In the beginning of the 1960s, Giuseppe Rivetti, nicknamed ‘Pin’, and his wife, Lidia, were both expert and dedicated farmers with enormous appreciation and knowledge for tradition while keeping a curious interest in the future. They exemplified humility, respect, as well as ambition. These are the values that still define the philosophy of La Spinetta. In 1977 their children, Carlo, Bruno, Giorgio, and Giovanna, with the support of their parents, began the first production of their Moscatos, Bricco Quaglia and Biancospino. These would be some of the first single-cru Moscato to be produced in Italy. Gallina is a soft and persuasive Barbaresco. Velvety tannins and great body define this wine, that ends with a fruity finish and floral note.

The 2019 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina is an elegant, nuanced wine. Crushed flowers, mint, sweet red cherry, kirsch, sweet French oak and incense all grace this silky, understated Barbaresco. Gallina is often quite forthcoming, but the 2019 is more classically austere in bearing. I suspect it will age well, but there is less immediate charm than in most years.

Neive. Mid ruby. Deep and rich on the nose like Nebbiolo on steroids. Sweet, intense raspberry and cassis fruit palate that is more than a tad international and, it must be said, skilfully oaked. Firm, ripe, polished tannins that are undeniably beautifully rendered. It is impressive in every way, even too much so for me. Can't wait to see how this ages. (WS)
