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. The Barolo DOCG Vigneto Garretti della Spinetta is produced in the Garretti vineyard, one of the few plots entirely facing south, with alluvial and calcareous soil. It enjoys an extraordinary ventilation that guarantees an exceptional temperature range even in the hottest years. It is produced with 100% Nebbiolo grapes, aged in French oak barrels of second pass for 24 months, and ends in bottle for about 12 months. A red wine, structure and elegance meet in a perfect combination. A beautiful garnet color, the aromas are sweet with notes of ripe fruit and spices. The palate is enveloping, with silky tannins and a long persistence. Ideal for important occasions, it goes very well with red meat, veal loin. To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 18/20 ºC.
