Piedmont wine is an icon. Piedmont is a territory of great red wines, no need to mention areas as Barolo and Barbaresco, that together with Tuscany wines today are perhaps the most known Italian wines in the world, but not only them, among Piedmont wines there is also Barbera, which is produced all around the region, well-known the one of Alba and Asti, the great sparkling wines of the Langa, Arneis of Roero and many other wines, above all they are produced with native grapes such as Freisa, patriarch of the Nebbiolo. In Piedmont vinicultural and oenological techniques are very advanced, concerning the area of Barolo and Barbaresco , but not only, every producer makes wines from single vineyards, the final product is a unique wine, an incomparable Cru that could only be born in a great territory as this one.

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.
