La Spinetta Derthona is produced from the Timorasso grape, a characteristic white variety native to the Tortona area in the southeast of Piedmont. Included in the Colli Tortonesi (Tortona Hills) DOC appellation, the variety is gaining ever more attention, both in Italy and internationally, for its fresh and mineral expressions. Situated in the far north-western corner of the zone, this particular viticultural area represents both the transitional gateway between the Po plains and the Mediterranean Sea and the very northernmost reaches of the Apennines, resulting in considerable variability in microclimate, altitude and soil type, key components of terroir.
Notes on the Producer
“I can’t remember a single meal with my father, my mother, my brothers and sister, our cousins, when there wasn’t a bottle of Barbera or Nebbiolo on the table, usually there were couple. And these wines continue to represent for me family, memories, laughter, tradition” says Giorgio Rivetti, co-owner and head wine maker of LA SPINETTA. “My parents were Moscato producers and I have always been convinced that Moscato merits the same respect in the vineyard as even the most prestigious wines like Barolo and Barbaresco. So my brothers and I decided to make single vineyard Moscato d’Asti.
