What does LA SPINETTA mean?

Answered by Brandon Riddell

In 1977, my family made the decision to settle down at LA SPINETTA, a beautiful estate located in Castagnole Lanze. The name LA SPINETTA translates to “top of the hill,” and it perfectly captures the essence of this picturesque location.

When we first arrived at LA SPINETTA, the area was already well-known for producing Moscato d'Asti, a delightful dessert . However, during that time, Moscato d'Asti was considered to be a rather light and simple wine. We saw the potential for so much more.

At LA SPINETTA, we wanted to elevate the reputation of Moscato d'Asti and showcase its true potential. We believed that this wine had the ability to be so much more than just a sweet dessert wine. Our goal was to craft Moscato d'Asti that could rival the finest wines in the world.

With this vision in mind, we set out to create Moscato d'Asti that was not only deliciously sweet but also complex and layered. We wanted to bring out the nuances and aromas of the grapes, and we knew that this could be achieved through meticulous winemaking techniques and a deep understanding of the terroir.

Through years of hard work and dedication, we were able to revolutionize the perception of Moscato d'Asti. Our wines became known for their exceptional quality, elegance, and balance. People started to see Moscato d'Asti as a wine that could be enjoyed not only as a dessert wine but also as a sophisticated and versatile option for any occasion.

The name LA SPINETTA has become synonymous with excellence in winemaking. It represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo. We have never been content with simply following trends or conforming to expectations. Instead, we have always strived to create wines that are unique, expressive, and truly reflective of the land from which they come.

LA SPINETTA is not just a name; it is a symbol of our passion and dedication to producing exceptional wines. It is a reminder of the journey we have taken to transform Moscato d'Asti into a wine that is celebrated and respected worldwide.

Today, LA SPINETTA continues to be a beacon of innovation and excellence in the wine industry. We are constantly exploring new vineyard sites, experimenting with different winemaking techniques, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Our commitment to quality and our love for the land are at the heart of everything we do.

LA SPINETTA is more than just a winery; it is a testament to the power of vision, hard work, and a deep appreciation for the art of winemaking. It is a place where tradition and innovation come together to create wines that are truly extraordinary.
