Its complex aromatic profile reveals intense notes of wild berries, rose petals and sweet oriental spices, finishing with remarkable \u003cstrong\u003emineral persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its natural aptitude for ageing makes it ideal for pairing with braised meats, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the Gallina cru in Neive, Piedmont, a prime area for cultivating Nebbiolo. The vineyards, aged between thirty-five and forty-five years, benefit from perfect \u003cstrong\u003esouthern exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e at around two hundred and seventy metres above sea level, ensuring optimal ripening of the grapes. The terroir is characterised by \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous marl soils\u003c\/strong\u003e with slight sandy components, essential elements that give the wine its typical solid structure. The \u003cstrong\u003ehilly microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e encourages the development of a deep aromatic profile, ideal for reds capable of evolving over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested in October, followed by gentle pressing. Maceration and fermentation at controlled temperatures take place in rotofermenters for about eight days. The wine is then transferred to \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it completes malolactic fermentation and matures for around twenty-two months. After a brief rest in stainless steel tanks, it undergoes \u003cstrong\u003eracking without filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve its aromatic and structural integrity. The process concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003efinal ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of twelve months, necessary to fully harmonise its sensory profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the dream of the Rivetti family, this red wine embodies the innovative spirit of the La Spinetta winery.
