La Spinetta means “Top of the Hill”, and refers to the parcel of land that Giuseppe Rivetti purchased in 1977, kickstarting the Rivetti family’s journey into wine production. The winery is located in Castagnole Lanze, a scenic sub-region centred around a village in the province of Asti.
La Spinetta began by producing Moscato, one of Asti’s most successful grapes, but they quickly expanded into other varietals. Timorasso is not widely known outside of Italy, but La Spinetta has created a delectable rendition of the native Piedmont grape. This is a perfect wine for those who want to try something new, delicious, and distinctly Italian.
A beautiful yellow gold in the glass, this Timorasso shows a nose of yellow fruits, cedar and petroleum, wrapped in a cloak of minerality. It’s a dry wine, showing a robust structure on the palate while retaining a soft and comforting mouthfeel. Harmonious fruity flavours of grapefruit and ripe peach reveal themselves, along with woody, hedgerow notes of hawthorn and hazelnut. With its strong acidity, it has good potential for ageing, which will reveal more prominent tertiary notes of minerality and kerosene. Consider pairing it with fish soups, sweet or savoury soufflés, or grilled fish. Serve slightly chilled, at around 12°C.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
