    The La Spinetta vineyard is situated on sunny slopes, benefiting from the temperate climate typical of the Piedmont region. The soils, rich in clay and limestone, promote good drainage and optimal grape ripening. The carefully cultivated vines are old and deeply rooted in a terroir that gives them a unique identity. The diversity of microclimates and sun exposure play a crucial role in the expression of the wines' aromas and flavors.

    Owner and history

    The La Spinetta estate is currently managed by the Rivetti family, who have passed down their passion for winemaking through generations. Their commitment to excellence and sustainability is reflected in their environmentally friendly practices and meticulous attention to every stage of production. They continue to innovate while remaining true to Piedmont's winemaking traditions, making La Spinetta a key player in the Italian wine landscape.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for Vursu Vigneto Gallina is carried out with meticulous care. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and destemmed before being placed in vats. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature to preserve the aromas. Aging in oak barrels, some of which are new, adds complexity and roundness to the wine. This traditional method, combined with a modern approach, results in a wine that reflects both the terroir and the winery's expertise.
