These are the values that still define the philosophy of La Spinetta.\r\nIn due course their children Carlo,\u00a0Bruno,\u00a0Giorgio, and\u00a0Giovanna took over the winery reigns. We worked to implement the teachings of our parents. We were taught to have great respect for the territory, for the indigenous vines and for the Piedmontese land.\r\nIn\u00a01977\u00a0the children, with the support of their parents, began the first production of their\u00a0Moscatos,\u00a0Bricco Quaglia\u00a0and\u00a0Biancospino. These would be some of the first single-cru Moscato to be produced in Italy.With the success of their Moscato business, we decided\u00a0to branch out and focus on red grapes. Our first foray was in\u00a01985\u00a0with\u00a0Barbera Ca di Pian.In\u00a01989\u00a0Pin was created. Through observation and collaboration with fellow producers, this wine was made with new winemaking ideas and with implementing the latest vineyard and cellar techniques. The plan was to make a wine with international appeal but also one that was deeply linked to the Piedmont territory.\r\nThe experience gained through the production of\u00a0Pin\u00a0proved to be a valuable tool as we approached\u00a0Barbaresco. Our first Barbaresco,\u00a0Gallina\u00a0was created in\u00a01995, it was followed by\u00a0Starderi\u00a0in\u00a01996\u00a0and finally\u00a0Valeirano in\u00a01997. The three Barbarescos are each made exactly the same in the cellar. The wines highlight the unique differences to each individual vineyard.\r\nIn\u00a01997, the\u00a0Gallina Cru\u00a0began producing the prestigious\u00a0Barbera d\u2019Alba, which still stands out for its unique characteristics provided by this incredible vineyard and terrain.\u00a01998\u00a0was the year for the\u00a0Barbera d\u2019Asti Superiore Bionzo. \u00a0A wine with immense structure and longevity, which is produced from century-old vines. |
