Spinetta is a company of great Italian prestige that has founded its roots in two important Italian regions, Piedmont and Tuscany. From the eighties the company began to work also with red berried grapes: Barbera, Barbaresco and Nebbiolo, respecting the terroir and carefully working some cru to produce excellent Piedmontese red wines. The project then continues in the 2000s in Tuscany with Casanova della Spinetta, growing Sangiovese. Barbera d'Alba DOC della Spinetta is produced by Barbera 100% and ages for 18 months in oak barrels of second and third passage. It is a ruby red wine and lively, with floral notes that turn on a rose and a peony. The entrance in the mouth is noisy, fresh and the tannin is very present. Ideal for Sunday lunch, it goes very well with red meats. To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 18/20 ºC.
