General Information
Giorgio Rivetti, winemaker at La Spinetta, a family-owned winery and a benchmark in Italy's Piedmont region, assures that “the only secret behind a great wine is exceptional grapes,” and this is precisely the foundation of La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo 2021, one of its most iconic reds.
Considered one of Italy’s noblest varieties, the nebbiolo cultivated by the winery, following the principles of almost biodynamic agriculture, exhibits a pronounced aromatic intensity, complexity, and excellent aging potential. La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo 2021 enhanced all these varietal virtues through a meticulous winemaking process that included 12 months of aging in French oak barrels, 2 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling, and another 4 months in the bottle to achieve perfect balance. The result is a red wine from Piedmont that showcases a unique elegance ready to captivate all kinds of palates.

Juicy, opulent, and elegant on the palate, it shows good body and well-present tannins.
