La Spinetta is a Piedmontese winery that was founded in 1977 when Giuseppe (called Pin) and Lidia Rivetti founded La Spinetta winery, from the name of the top of the hill on which they live. Spinetta's history begins with the production of Moscato, they were the first to produce Moscato cru with Moscato Bricco Quaglia and Moscato Biancospino. From 1985 onwards the Rivetti family invested more and more in the company starting to produce the Barbera Cà di Pian, the first red wine. After seeing the success of their products on the market, they began to buy estates and vineyards in places of worship for Piedmontese viticulture: Gallina, Valeirano, Starderi, Bordini and finally in 2000 the Rivetti family produced Barolo Campè for the first time. In 2001, La Spinetta acquired 65 hectares of vineyards in Tuscany between Pisa and Volterra and began producing Sangiovese wines.
