La Spinetta was founded by Giuseppe Rivetti in 1977 in Castagnole Lanze which sits at the centre of the Moscato d’Asti appellation. Although known for its simple dessert wines, the Rivettis quickly recognised the potential of the land for creating premium wines from other local grape varieties. In the 1980s they started producing their first red wines and the family soon began to acquire land in other areas including Barolo and parts of Tuscany.
This uplifting and refreshing white wine is sourced from top quality vineyards in the Terricciola municipality of Tuscany which are planted on sandy soils rich in fossils and ancient marine sediment. The terroir helps to create an incredibly delicate, floral and aromatic Vermentino with the grapes fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and varietal typicity.
Honeysuckle, pear, Mediterranean herbs and subtle hints of minerality define the nose while the first sip reveals a mouthwatering acidity, incredibly light body and pure, clean finish. Elegant and crisp from the first sip to the last drop in the bottle, this seductive white wine is a perfect aperitif or accompaniment for linguine served with clams or even the classic Italian dish of “Carciofi alla Giudia” or deep-fried artichokes.
